Yet more tablets

[Oma]

B received a letter this morning about the Bone density scan he had several weeks ago ,

The results show that his Spine and Hips have significant lower values than should be , meaning he has severe Osteoporosis ,
The consultant said they think because of his previous spinal surgery , Lymphoma and one of the drugs he takes for the Hep B its all took its toll on his bones ,

They now want him to see another Dr to talk about treatments to try to prevent further loss and have yearly bone density scans ,
He must be careful of falls as he could break his hips easily .

He's already on vast amounts of tablets I suppose a few more wont make a difference
What more can be thrown at this man

Just as well we can look on the bright side of things isn't it

[Nanto2girls]

Oma, just as well you can both look on the bright side.
Hope nothing else gets thrown at B.
I certainly hope he does't have any falls.

[Plantaholic]

Oma, I have an injection twice a year for my osteoporosis but mine isn't as bad as B I presume. I am due for another scan soon. I am terrified of falling again.

[Oma]

Its just one thing after another but considering the state of his spine and that he has Osteoarthritis in it too it doesn't come as a great surprise really ,
He just shrugged and said oh well

[Enfys]

Oh dear, Oma, one thing after the other. P says with all the tablets he takes he’ll soon be rattling!! Our men are amazing.

[Oma]

They are Enfys makes me wonder if I could have gone through what they have and come out smiling xx

Oh poor B He is so brave and takes all in his stride doesn't he.
I hope he takes on board no more climbing on the roof now!

The drug both OH and I are on takes calcium from the bones so we have regular bone density scans to check for osteoporosis.
I wonder if at her next appointment with the oncologist he will send OH for another scan after her wrist accident.

Oma I would have to look at how well they are keeping an eye on your Brian he certainly has his fair share of tablets but his Doctors seem to be spot on with all his treatment,well done them and well done to your Brian with all he has to cope with,(just keep tight hold of his hand so he doesn't fall over)

Oma I suppose it’s better to take an extra tablet or two than have more complications further along the road .B seems to have taken the news in his stride.I hope the other doctor can give you more information and advise over treatments.

When we come out of the Pharmacy clutching our bags of tablets I joke that we are draining the NHS between us.

[Qwerty]

Blimey it’s a good job that OH is as resilient as he is , hope he copes ok with the health problem he now has poor chap

[Shemadee]

He’ll be rattling when he walks at this rate. Best to take all preventative measures possible!

[Oma]

Oh he's Fine Qwerty it's just something else to add to the list . We joke the Big Man in the sky looks down and says He hasn't got anything wrong today I will throw this down 😂😂
Clover it's like a shipping order when his comes 😂
Shem that's just his bones rattling hahaha

[Daisy]

Oma, all you can say is thank goodness they can diagnose the problem and give him something for it. I still think he's amazing - but as you say, no more climbing on the roof, Mr O - or jumping on the bed, or any other silly activity!

The pills must look like you're stocking a whole pharmacy!

[Oma]

Daisy ours don't come in paper bags they come in plastic carry bags two at a time
Plus certain lots have to be signed for as they are controlled drugs
We could make a fortune on the black market hahahaha

Just don't get mugged for your stash Oma!
