Why I have not been around much lately

Oddly enough, dried plums might help. After my mom fell and broke a hip last year, I started researching and found that dried plums can help restore bone loss. White onions may also help.

Having to eat them might be worse than the bone loss.

I know, right? At least that's what I thought. I remember the gross plums my grandparents used to eat--kind of gooey in a bowl with brown liquid. I did find some good ones, though. I've ordered these three times now and they're pretty good. Not great, but pretty good.

Onions, now. I can eat onions all day long. One of my favorites is to cut them in half and then brush on a vinegar/honey solution and roast them for about an hour for my lunch. Now, I'm hungry!

Actually, that is not quite so far off as you might imagine.

I did go in because of some pain that I had been experiencing in my right leg; but I had absolutely no clue as to the source of that pain--or that the doctor would take me off Fosamax permanently.

When I was told that the Fosamax that I had been taking caused a couple of fractures--which could easily have resulted in a full break--I was astonished.

When it heals up, try resistance training. It strengthens bones.

Moving better I hope?

The dried plums (prunes) that come individually wrapped, in a plastic cylinder are actually good, I don't remember off hand, the brand, they're a bit sticky but, not gooey.

Onions? No how, no way, no matter how they're prepared.

And those "Dried Plums" will keep you regular. No running to the bathroom!

I had to look up the difference between Dried Plums and Prunes and learned that young people will not eat Prunes so they renamed them.

That's funny.

I don't like the word either.
