A lovely day

Well, here we are. Witnessing history in the making. I am glad that Obama will be the nominee. Change will be a welcome relief from what we have had for the last eight years. Will anyone vote for McCain? He seems to be losing it, with his compulsive grin that comes and goes with each sentence. Brave soldier that he was, it seems that he has given enough for his country and has earned a rest.
i had a lovely day today, going to lunch with several friends and exchanging news of family and friends from the past. Since i don't drive anymore, it was nice to get out once again. My husband had a doctor's appointment, so he couldn't go, but I brought home news to share with him. His CAT scan revealed crushed vertebrae in his spine and osteoporosis in his bones. This seems hard to believe, since he has always drank large quantities of milk, which contains calcium, but it is true. He will sometimes get up in the middle of the night and drink a glass of milk in the kitchen. I seldom drink milk but my bones are fine. Maybe it is something in the genes.
This will be a short blog. We are listening to a book tape and I must pay attention to the story, Take care.

There has to be something in our genes, I think that explains why some people are more likely to break bones more easily than others even in their youths. I am sorry to hear that your husband will have this struggle.

Thank you for your kind thoughts. He is being very stoic about his health issues, macho old dude that he is. He even manages to have a sense of humor. When he describes the various medical procedures they use to evaluate his condition, he is hilarious.
