Billye:

What is the deal on a bone biopsy? Are you supposed to get one?

I am going to the Mineral Metabolism Dept. at the school. My friend just went through this department and they ran all kinds of tests on her for osteo and bone loss, and I don't remember her saying she would have to have one... I know they are treating her with something for this, but I can't remember what. I just remember her Rheumy took her off of Forteo, because it caused bone inflammation.

And what is MrsD's fizzy magnesium, if you don't mind me asking?

Have you thought about getting one of those little carts from Sam's that you can push/and or sit down on? They are just wonderful and not at all like the old silver walkers. You can start out pushing and sit down on its seat, if you get weak or tired. I believe they were $99 by the pharmacy. They are very colorful and cute and have a basket to put things in when you shop or a place under the seat.
