But I Thought This Was Only For Old People....

Last week I went for my bone density test and am told that I have Osteoporosis. Holy Crap Batman! I thought that was only something old people got, then I remembered. I am getting old. When did this happen? Apparently, this happened while I was busy taking care of everyone else. While the kids were growing up, I have to admit I didn't take very good care of myself. I was always so busy, that I attended eveyone's needs but my own. I think most women tend to do the same thing. So, now I'm beginning to see the results of my folly.

I was under the false impression that I was getting enough calcium from my daily vitamin and the foods I eat. Let me just tell you right now that is the wrong thing to think. It's especially wrong to think if you're getting ready to go through menpause or are in the middle hell of it. You need to double up on calcium because 90% of post menopausal women have Osteoporosis. Hmm.... Evidently, I wasn't paying attention. I should have already known this. Maybe I knew it and merely ignored it, which is highly likely. The only good news being that I am POST menopausal.

You see, being immature allows my brain to think I'm still as young as my mind. Screeeeeech! So why isn't my body behaving in accordance? It's called the nature of things and I don't think Mother Nature likes me very much. Her gravity is starting to make all my saggable body parts droop and now this Osteoporosis thing. When will all this craziness end? Why didn't I start working out like Madonna when I still looked good? Why wasn't I paying attention? Why didn't someone slap me into consciousness?

Anyone have a spare Xanax? I think I need one....
