Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Thanks. I had major back surgery Jan 06 and had 2 titanium rods put in my back also. I have only been on Fosamax 3 weeks. I am still on 20 Pr4ednisone. I was 40 then 30 and now 20. I hope no one is upset with Bruce as I was just letting him know how much I appreciated his input from a newbie. I definitely recommend discussing anything taken from here with one or both of my Drs. As a new member I am soaking up everything like a sponge and retaining. I even print off site recommendations, meds to discuss with Dr. And other info to keep on file if I develop any of the same symptoms others may have had. Thanks to all for sharing, Joe/Joanie -- Re: Hi Mama-Sher Joe,i too take osteofos once a week for my osteoporosis,Dexa scan shoed extreme osteo porosis i had multiplefractures in the spine and ribs bone density(-4.9) Ialso take 1000mg of Ca and vtiDGeeta__________________________________________________________Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Geeta...I'm glad to know you are doing ok. Me too. I went out today w/Rich to the store and we stopped to check out and I forgot something. He stayed there and I swirled around to leave and by nose-hose nearly threw me to the ground! lol. I'm not used to the nose hose yet. It was really funny. Rich and I laughed but the gal at the checkout counter didn't know how to react. God Bless us Mama-Sher, age 69.UIP/IPF, 3-06,OR.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 THANKS, HOW DID A GUY LIKE ME GET SUCH A GOOD LOOKING WOMAN???? THE BACK SURGERY WAS FANTASTIC. I HAVE HAD VERY LITTLE PAIN IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. I TOLD THE SURGEON IF HE HAD BEEN A WOMAN I MIGHT HAVE MARRIED HIM. I SUFFERED 2 YEARS PRIOR AND AGONIZED OVER THE SURGERY AND HINDSIGHT, I PUT OFF TOO LONG. I WNNT BACK TO DR. THIS A.M. AS MY CHEST STARTED TO FILL UP AGAIN. SHE INCREASED LEVAQUINN TO 750 MG. AND GAVE ME A SHOT ALSO OF ANTIBIOTIC. SHE OFFERED TO PUT ME IN HOSPITAL AND I DECLINED AS MY HOME NURSE IS PRETTIER. I AM TRYING TO FIND PHOTO OF BOTH SONS TOGETHER AND WILL POST AT A LATER DATE.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Joe...I may have missed something but what is the cause of your chest filling up? What is done to "unfill" it?? If it fills enough to go to hospital...given antibiotics...they take time. Maybe you Need to be in hospital friend. Do take care. Joanie, take away his bike if he isn't a good boy!

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Geeta...well that little sudden stop made me aware of the nose hose alright! I'll be careful in the future. I can still laugh when I imagine the checker's face. She couldn't see any humor at all! lol. Mama-Sher, age 69.UIP/IPF, 3-06,OR. Don't fret about tomorrow, God is already there!
