Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

Wow, do I agree with you. My mother died after a hip fracture. Although they tried surgery to repair it...she never walked again and stopped talking or engaging in any way. I would drive two hours to see her on Friday, place her in a wheelchair and take her through the rose garden. She had no reaction........just stared straight ahead. For her, quite an active run-a-bout......this was the end.

Unfortunate and preventable???????

@artscaping I am so sorry. I just watched this very same thing happen to a woman I know. She broke her hip and came back from rehab a different person, always looking for her deceased husband. And she died last week.

It seems that some of the bone-building drugs do more for our spine than our hips, so balance is something we can work on I guess. And no icy surfaces, no magazines on the floor!
