Health Update ~ and Sarah's music!


Yesterday I got a great report back from the bone density test! I am so much improved I will no longer need to take the ' Actonel
' bone building /strengthening meds I have been taking for the past few years!

YAY!!

This was totally unexpected by me. I just assumed it would be a permanent thing for me...this taking of the medicine! But now- all I need to do is continue walking and taking calcium supplements!

I can do that!!

As the old saying goes......'Don't look a gift horse in the mouth!' ......
I will just be thankful for this gift and not examine it too closely! :)

...And consider this little added bonus!
This will give me $113.00 extra to spend for fun things every month! :) Cool, huh!!
Outrageous
price for 2 little pills - if you ask me!!

...

So - we did our walk again this morning! Not the most fun thing in the world to do but I'm giving it my best shot! I love to just amble along with my camera but I know I need to put more into it than that...so... I left my camera home this time!

...

One more thing I want to say (before going out in search of butterflies) ...I played my new Sarah McLachlan CD last night; 'Rarities, B-Sides, and Other Stuff.'

WOW! What a wonderful music listen that was!

Several of the songs on this CD are with a few other well known singers in the music world! It's very special!

There does not appear to be any Youtubes of this available yet!

Some samples of songs can be found here!

Sarah McLachlan is wonderful ~ pure and simple!



Love,

Junie

    Great news on your bone test.☺
    I just saw a comercial for the Actonel this afternoon and wondered how much that cost and thought I bet it is high since it is a once a month thing. These drug companies like to sock it to ya like that!

    All the insurance I have is medicare - and drugs are not covered, of course!

    So if I can get myself in better shape ...well- I just better try to do that!

  5. I've only caught snatches of her here and there, but I really likes her Christmas album a year ago.

  6. Yes, the Christmas album is very good!

    I like all of her music- and I have most of it.

    There's lots to be found of her music on Youtube...just none of this newest album!
