These are my sisters, Pam and Brenda. They both have osteoporosis. Pam just a touch, Brenda has it severely. She tripped taking her trash out two days ago. She fractured her elbow and knee cap.
She is at my sister Jeanie's right now. Waiting to get into the orthopedist, for more whatever...she has two puffy casts on right now. I am afraid she maybe down for some time.
Brenda has osteo from lack of hormones...she had a complete hysterectomy at 26 and didn't take hormones...why? I want to ask if my blog family will say a few prayers for Brenda. Thank you so much., I truly appreciate all of you. XO
I would love to add your sisters to my prayer journal. I have a bone density test next week, as the meds I take for my cancer weakens the bones so I take Calcium, Magn/Vit. D.
ReplyDeleteWanda, I hope your bone density test comes back with good reports. Thank for the prayers. I will have you in mine. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteSending positive thoughts to your sisters!
ReplyDeleteThank you Amy. also thank you for visiting, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI will say a prayer for your sister!
ReplyDeleteThank you Donna. I appreciate your prayers and will tell my sister. I know it will cheer her up. xoxo,Susie
DeleteI will be praying.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I believe prayers help us. xoxo,Susie
Deleteprayers coming her way, I also have sever osteoporosis. I fell in april and broke my arm in three places, then re-fell yesterday and broke a finger. It's just so strange to be so fragile...I'm not that old!
ReplyDeleteJoanne, Oh dear, then you certainly know what I am talking about . I am so sorry . I will pray for you also. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI will be praying for Brenda, Susie.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to know what the right thing to do is with hormones.
Thank you Kimberly. I took hormones for a while. But it was much later, as my own diminished. Then I got off them after the last scared of cervical cancer from the meds. xoxo,Susie
Deleteoh no, that is so sad, to think it might have been prevented by the taking of hormones, I will keep he in my prayers,
ReplyDeleteLaurie, My mother had a hysterectomy at age 37 and never took hormones either...but she had good bones. Still had good posture until she passed at the age of 83. I think a lot of Brenda's was she had never had children and had her hysterectomy so young, plus she smoked a long time. That is one of the no-no's . Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteSo sorry to hear about your sister. I will be praying for her along with my Bible Study group. I have osteo from my cancer drugs also, but very slightly so I know how it can be. Tell her I wish her good health.
ReplyDeleteKathy, I hope you are taking calcium and vitamin D . Thank you for the prayers. oxoxo,Susie
DeleteThat's no fun for sure. I feel bad for her. I hope that everything heals fast and that she's back to her old self very soon. I wish her the best.
ReplyDeleteMissy, My sister used to be 5 foot, she says she is now 4'9" I find that hard to believe, but she does look shorter. Thank you for the good wishes. She has enjoyed that I told others were thinking of her. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteOh I'm so sorry to hear this about your sister. My prayers are with her during this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Gert
Thank you so much for the prayers Gert. My sister was so happy when I told others were praying for her. We do believe in the power of prayer. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI'm sorry to hear about your sisters and their health problems. I'll be praying for them.
ReplyDeletewarmly,

Hi DEb, Thank you so much. I have fear for my sister Brenda's condition. She's very advanced with her osteo. Take care, xoxo,Susie
DeleteSo sorry Susie! You bet your sis will be in my prayers!!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Jann
Thank you Jann, all the prayers just mean so much! Blessings, xoxo,Susie
DeleteI will pay for Brenda, Susie. That is really tough.
ReplyDeleteThank you . My sister is a good soul, she just has not taken care of herself very well. She never had children, so my sister Jeanie tends to her through this tough time. xoxo,Susie
DeleteSusie...I just don't think we know how serious it is that we take our medications.
ReplyDeleteOur health is something we just seem to take for granted. I feel so bad for them. Had I done things differently..I would have saved myself some health problems too.
Thank you Mona. Brenda is taking calcium/ vitamin D , now. It is suppose to help her....but I think she should have been on that a long time ago. I worry about her. The Dr says she can break bones coughing, sneezing, she's fragile. xoxo,Susie
DeleteOkay....you got it, Susie!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
Love to you, and your family.
Debbie

Hi Debbie, Thank you, I know my sister is happy for prayers...we do believe in it's great power. xoxo,Susie
DeletePraying for Brenda. Oh, what a thing to happen and praying it won't take so long to recover from this. So sorry for her. I have that stuff starting, too along with the degenerative. Its going to make old age interesting. I had my hysterectomy at 29, but they left the ovaries so no hormones. Have a good weekend and take in this cool weather while we can.
ReplyDeleteTete, Start taking a bit of calcium/vitamin D, It can help you. but do ask the dr. first. Thank you for your prayers for my sister, it means so much. Yes, I want to lap up this good weather. :) xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteI will definitely say a prayer for Brenda, Susie. That osteoporosis must be awful for her. My mom had arthritis, and sometimes it hurt so much. This is a sweet picture of your sisters.
ReplyDeletelove,
