Had a bone density test yesterday for Osteoporosis and passed with flying colors. I was told that I scored better than a lot of 20 year olds, that I had the best score the nurse had seen in the past 1 1/2 years. Went home and told my son and he said, "Mom, we always knew you were dense....." Go figure...... Good news, dont have to have another for 10 years!! Now if I just had the face and figure of a 20 year old I would be in good shape....a 20 year old person....not dog, horse, etc!! Needed to clarify that.... So peeps, keep drinking the milk, eatin the cottage cheese, cheese, yogurt, taking your calcium....(that is if youre not allergic to it)...and keep those bones healthy!
