@sandy0257 I am more than happy to share any of my medical details. I was 50, almost 51 when I slipped on solid ice and shattered my hand/ wrist/arm beyond repair. I had countless surgeries and efforts to fix it, which didn't work. Initially, I had internal and external fixation with the steel bar above my hand/ wrist/ arm and screws going from the bar into my hand and arm. The wrist area had an internal metal plate with more pins/ screws. It will take me a while to look up my bone density stats because I recently had cataract surgeries on both eyes and the right eye has had issues from day one and unfortunately needs a new surgery, do I really can't see to read right now. It kind of complicates the full college load I took on for Spring quarter. I was (and always have been) very healthy with great nutrition and ample choices of good food at hand. I don't drink or smoke and have never done recreational drugs of any kind. I am 76 years old now. I have always been physically active and an appropriate weight (skinny as a child but never overweight during my lifetime). I will add more once I can see. My bone marrow/ stem cell transplant failed to achieve remission, after they anticipated I would get 10 extra years of life because I caught it so early, was in such great shape and took such good care of myself. I have never used free weights.

@spunkyspinster Gosh Spunky…I feel so badly for you! Shattering your hand at 51, must have been such a hard fall. I also admire you very much for all your hard work doing everything you can to get your bones stronger. It must have been very disappointing for the stem cell not to work as planned. I’m looking forward texting again with you.
