I saw a guy the other day walking across five lanes of heavy traffic while texting! It's a wonder he didn't get killed and he would have if someone was also texting while driving by him.Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-17429340738628331822015-10-10T15:55:29.308-04:002015-10-10T15:55:29.308-04:00I'm beginning to not like driving on the highw...I'm beginning to not like driving on the highways any more. It seems like every driver is doing something else in addition to driving ... causing them to veer out of their lane, or slow down too much for no reason. And the people who are in such a HURRY, swerving in and out of every lane to get their 14 seconds ahead of me. UGH! Thank goodness Maui is more laid back.

(My friend has other serious health issues that have been the focus of her and her doctors' attention, so that the osteoporosis has been on the back burner. I'm hoping to get it onto the front burner.)

When our city was first laid out there was a north-south and a west-east street that crossed dead center of town and that crossing point was like ground zero. The house numbers went up in all four directions from where they crossed---those going 'north' for example were like 110 N Division and those going south were like 110 S Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-22111400759272190682015-10-09T09:08:12.153-04:002015-10-09T09:08:12.153-04:00That's the way I'm looking at milkshakes.....That's the way I'm looking at milkshakes....medicine.

My doctor thinks the Forteo I was on did a great job of building bone density inside of my bones but you have a two year lifetime limit on that, I guessing that's because daily shots are very expensive. The Reclast infusion is suppose to hold me where I'm at, not losing or gaining any bone density.

I only take it one way when I go to the south end and I take surface streets----a route on the eastern or western side of the city---back home again. It's takes 20 minutes longer but it's easier on my nerves.

His nurse takes all the necessary stats and puts them on the computer. Just before he comes into the exam room, he checks her writings. He never brings his computer in with him. I like it.
