So I had the bone density (DEXA) scan done today. I am thirty and I've already had 2. When I got there the woman doing the scan said, "You're thirty, what are you doing here?" "Goood question," I replied.
I told her I had osteopenia and osteoporosis in part of my spine. She looked shocked. And also like she felt a little sorry for me.
The scan itself is a piece of cake. You don't feel anything. Just simply lie on a table and this little thing runs back and forth above your body. It is over and done with very quickly, at least if things go smoothly. The woman had to do each scan about 3 times repositioning me each time to get it just right. It still didn't take very long. About 20 minutes.
I don't know when I will get the results. I expect by the end of the week or maybe next week. My doctor told me to call her a day or two after the test so she would know to go look for the results in my records.
There was a little bit of good news. I haven't shrunk again since I was last measured. Yay! At 5'2" at my tallest, I really can't afford it.
