Wow .... it happened!!

It seemed like it took forever for nerves, bones and muscles to heal from all my broken bones.

But, it was going on even when I wasn't paying attention.

I managed my 'stretch goal' of going to Disneyland. I had to use a cane and I couldn't keep up with my grandkids, but I did it!!!!! No roller coasters, but managed some of my faves like Pirates of the Caribbean and It's a Small World.

I feel so blessed .....

Thanks everyone for the positive responses.

I can't believe it has been 31 months since my body started falling apart. Recovery was so slow that I stopped noticing it.

Until one day I realized I could roll over in bed and walk around the grocery store without thinking about every step I took.

Glad you're doing great. Do you think the bone density drugs helped? The Evenity and the Reclast?

@SilleeMee

I am positive that Evenity and Reclast helped. I was breaking a bone every 3-4 months, without bumping into anything or falling.

As a result, the entire first year I wasn't allowed to do hardly anything. After the year on Evenity the Dexascan showed 9% improvement on the spine and something like 2% on the femur and hip. I was then allowed to lift light weights and buy a gallon of milk.

But by then I was pretty much a sloth!!!

Thankfully I got my new pup who didn't really care about any of my excuses. He wanted a walk and now!

It's amazing!!!! I will be forever thankful for those drugs.

I'm so happy for you. Such great news. I am also thankful for the bone density drugs. My hip and shoulder pains are gone. Thought it was arthritis but it was osteoporosis. Now I can walk longer w/o hip pain and worries of fractures. It's a wonderful life when you can actually move around almost like a normal person.😊
