STOP! Don't do this if you have osteoporosis

You have a lot with watching out for your husband and doing extra! All this is hard, and he is blessed to have you supporting and helping him!
Another thing I just thought of, is pulling through (safely/cautiously) parking spaces when possible. Even with backup cameras, it’s safer to look around for pedestrians, etc and that twisting is a no no….So I try to park so that I can just pull forward….

I like your recommendation about parking spaces, parking so you can just pull out going forward rather than having to twist around to look behind you. I will definitely mention this to my husband.
It is a lot but it's worth it. I am hoping and praying that the Forteo will help him and that he can get off prednisone sooner rather than later. We've got a few more months at least to go through the tapering process. We have to hope and pray he doesn't have a flare of his conditions (PMR and GCA) and that he can eventually be off drugs. He takes Actemra to help taper the prednisone and will likely remain on Actemra for some time after prednisone. It doesn't have as many of the nasty side effects we've experienced with prednisone. Including steroid-induced osteoporosis.
