She's doing fine. We've started on a drug called Forteo. It's been out five years and where Fosamax stops or halts bone loss, Forteo does the opposite. It stimulates bone growth that fills in the voids in the bones that ostioporosis has created. Only problem is that during clinical trials it caused cancer in rats, but it's been out five years without a single adverse effect. So we've got our fingers crossed.
I sold my motorcycle and we purchased a Russian motorcycle/sidecar rig. The sidecar eases the strain on her back and bones and we've decided we aren't waiting until we retire to take trips and have fun. The people she works with this she's nuts (motorcycle chick!).
Oh, and we have an three year old Irish Setter who's nuts, too.
