Congratulations to all of you for participating in this investigative effort. It is so helpful to be able to increase our personal understanding of the potential impact of an aging medical transformation by sharing personal experiences with others facing the same life transition. Like so many of you, my endocrinologist from Mayo was just the perfect medical professional for me. I had been disappointed by the inadequate care that I had received from other medical professionals.

In addition to explaining his choice of a medication that supported my bone density, he also checked out my stability and made sure that I would have appropriate physical therapy and learn how to protect my body from falls. Actually, one week included instruction not only in preventing falls but also in learning how to get up if you do have a fall.

As our session ended, I turned to him and asked him to let me know of questions I should have asked but didn't.
That was very helpful. I am getting ready for another round of DEXA scans this month. It has been two years since I finished my two-year run on Tymlos and started alendronate. I will appreciate knowing how stable my scores have been and learning about protecting myself for the rest of my 80's,

May you all be safe, protected, and free from inner and outer harm.
