I had my first bone density exam today. It sounded intimidating when my doc first brought it up, only because I couldn't imagine how they could tell without actually getting in there and doing something that involved touching the bone. eeuuuw. But it's much easier than that -- you lie back for a few minutes while a scanner runs over you, first checking your spine, then your hips. My appointment was at 9, I was all done by 9:10.
In the middle of the whole thing, the technician let escape "You're off the charts!" Apparently, my bone density is so good that my prescription is going to be not to take calcium supplements. I thanked her and said she'd made my day. She said that I'd made hers too -- she usually looks at dismal numbers and says that the radiologist will be in touch -- she doesn't know how to break bad news to patient after patient.
This is really nice news to get. Now on to the next set of tests...
