My cousin is fine. Long ago, my grandmother fell down a short stairway, broke her hip and was bed bond for two years, then she died of two heart attacks. One aunt fell and broke her hip and was contined to a wheelchair. Her sister moved across the road to take cate of her and then broke her hip also. Died later in a nursing home with dementia and parkinson's disease. Do you keep up with the scans for osteoperosis/osteopenia? My bone density has very good numbers except for my letf hip!

HI @carolee888
I feel happy that your cousin is fine and relate to the loss of your aunts.

When I was 65, Mayo did the bone density test on me and, thankfully, all was well. No indication for a need for more testing I guess. I hope they find a way to help your left hip's density.
