Jennifer thank you for all the information. I will look into the hormone replacement and the blood Calcium to see the range. We sometimes make decisions that perhaps aren't the best. I was offered the hormone replacement way back and at the time was concerned because I had lost both parents with Cancer and there seemed to be perhaps a chance of getting that through the hormone replacements. At this point and time as long as I'm able to function and not in constant pain it's good.
I have been married for 65 years and have been a caregiver my entire life for family one way or another. It can be exhausting but I try to get away for an afternoon or get sometime for myself to recharge. I am a pretty optimistic person and healthy all my life so this has kind of thrown me for a loop.
I certainly will give some feedback on my results and decisions that have helped me so that others may benefit.
