Just got off the phone from the doc's office . . . no fractures, no broken bones. YAY! I had this impression as my hip has been improving slowly but surely, as the expression goes.
Even better news. There is no negative change in my spine/hip condition, meaning Reclast is doing its job. This is great and allows me to skate with more confidence. Not ignoring the obvious - that my risk is greater than without this dang osteoporosis - but clearly I am having no further denigration of bone density due to this illness. What a relief!
I finally confessed to Dear Husband that I bought new boots (SPTerri) and blades (MK Professional) when I was in San Jose. I had not told him, but who can keep a secret like that from one's spouse? Certainly not me. He was a stand-up guy about it; he ribbed me a bit, but it's hard to be mad at someone who confesses that she made a complete impulse purchase. Not that I didn't need new boots, mind you. My last pair of Klingbeil skates never fit properly and I was continually adjusting them, without success. But I hadn't exactly planned on this purchase. The heat of the moment and all that just swept me away, the SPTerri booth was right there and everything was just so easy. Yikes, you'd think I'd know better. However, I am really looking forward to getting my new skates in the next three weeks.
Onward I go, grateful to be on the road to recovery and able to return to skating next week!
I got up this morning with no pain in my hip at all! I'd really like to skate today, but will resist the temptation and avoid annoying DH. I called SP-Terri yesterday to inquire about my boots/blades. Was told they won't be ready for another 4 weeks, which surprised me, as I ordered them the last week in July. Oh well. What can I do? Total bummer,
