More good news.

Not only am I behind and over the limit on all my credit cards, but I got the results of my recent Dexa bone scan. I have mild Osteopenia in my hip and moderate Osteopenia in my spine, so I have double the risk of a hip fracture and 4x the risk of a spine fracture. Maybe if I break my back I'll be able to pay my bills. FUN.
Sorry for the sarcasm and crappy news but sometimes you just need to spit it out.

I'm sorry. At least you know, though, so you can treat it and do things to avoid fractures (ie, exercise, as strong muscles support your bones).
If it makes you feel any better, I'm working on a whopping 2 hours of sleep -- Viv had bad gas pain from 1 a.m. - 5 a.m. this morning and was screaming her heart out all night. Fun times for everyone. ;)

I'm so sorry to hear that. I was diagnosed with osteopenia about 6 years ago and it's really scary. Just remember to take plenty of calcium and get some exercise. Are you going on any bone density drugs? Keep getting it checked, maybe you can reverse the bone loss.
