Today I had a DEXA scan. Which is basically where they use this x-ray type scanner thing to check the density of your bones. My dad has been on at me to ask my gastro consultant about it for the longest time. Finally asked for one at my last consultation and had one today. It showed that my pelvis is almost bang on average for someone of my age and my spine is under average, but still in normal range. Which should make my dad happy. It is advisable that all those who have been on high dose steroids for a reasonable length of time (I was on them for 6 months) has it done as steroids are known to reduce bone density.
But that is totally aside for the real reason I was writing this entry, I had this DEXA scan and actually had some human interaction, face-to-face human interaction! I dislike there being no one around for me to phone or to get around to talk to. I miss my parents and Kate a lot!
Nevermind right, it's only for another 13 days or something. Still seems for forever!
Until next time x
