@lioness. My bone density scan is scheduled in two weeks. I have to call to make sure it won’t require me to lie on my left side because with this fracture that would be impossible.

@gingerw. Thankfully I do not have any doctors who are that arrogant, but many do not give much credit to the patient for knowing anything. That’s one of the things I really liked about the orthopedic doctor who did my last TKR. He showed respect for my opinions. I think my PCP has learned to too which is part of the reason I hate the thought of changing doctors. It took me a long time to break him in! ☺️
