read my reply above to sir1
I broke an ankle literally walking across the living room...granted, a simple fracture, but non weight bearing for 6 weeks...a real pain for a nurse.
needing help to get to bathroom, getting dressed, getting to dr. appt...missing work and volunteering...my poor husband was great, but cooking is not his area...You do not want a fracture...by the way, I always have eaten all those foods recommended for osteoporosis...didnt help my ankle...good luck
