I’m terribly sorry! I do understand the need to get a “fix”! My horses live with me, and I downsized from 7 to 1. The one I kept was born here; she’s 16 now. She was too lonely so I adopted a young mustang. So far, I’m OK with chores. There will come a time when I won’t be, and you’re absolutely right about the burden on the family if something happens. Thank you, and I wish you the best!

I think we often jump to the worse case scenerios when we make our decisions. Yes, they might happen but there are a lot of other actions that could occur. We also think that we must make out decisions alone.
I am on a drug similar to Boniva. I've taken it for two years with some improvement. My over active parathyroid gland contributed to my osteoporosis. Once it was removed the bone loss stopped. Have you had your parathyroid hormone level been tested? It doesn't change the fact that you have bone loss, but I can't imagine that your new medication will help as much as it should.
The quality of your life matters!
