Hi @susandockter. Thanks for updating us on how your doing, though i'm sorry to hear it's been such a rough few weeks. You are so right about osteoporosis and you offer a great reminder.
I'm tagging @caress, @gemma, @lesleighjarrett, @inspiration and @predictable who I think might like to hear this and join in the conversation.
What kind of exercises have you found helpful? I know a lot of people with osteoporosis shy away from exercise for fear of injury, so i'd love to hear what you are doing.

I'm very lucky to have a pool. I have found that deep water aerobics is a great cardio workout and I feel stronger since I've been doing it. It's a 35 minute cd.<br><br><br><br>
I wish I could do pool too, love swimming, but allergic to chlorine
Water therapy! Walking in pool and pt guided exercises in water. Super helpful! Builds muscle and balance and flexibility without injury!

I walk at this point, mostly around the house. I'm up to 4K steps every 3 days or so. also strengthening and balancing exserises I got from my physical therapist. Also have been doing some light yoga at home. But only things that make sense.
