I needed to have a bone density scan, so last week, Jasmine drove me to Bakersfield.
Since my pulmonary NP told me I have a broken bone in my spine, I've been a bit concerned.
As it turned out, all is well, or well enough for me to be very happy!
The day after my test, my doctor's office called and said I have osteopenia. I've had that for about ten years, so it hasn't progressed. Must be all the yogurt I eat, plus the calcium and D3. I'm so happy, I was worried. So happy, in fact, that I forgot to ask about the broken bone. Will do that later.
I had such a nice time with Jasmine. I forgot to bring something to eat. Which wasn't good since I would miss my lunch. So Jasmine found a Vons store and bought the best yogurt for me. It was half full of fresh fruit and tasted so good.
I hope this was the last medically necessary trip for a long time. But it was a nice trip, fields of spring flowers lined the highway as we got closer to the valley below.
I took this on our way home, I should have pulled the window all the way down, as you can see, I didn't. Spring flowers around here are so awesome.
Soon we were in the mountains and I was almost home, while Jasmine had to drive another 50 miles or so to get home.
She's been a great help and I've enjoyed spending time with her. A caring, smart and thoughtful young woman.
