You're lucky to have a bus shelter, Plymouth Council have removed 210 including the ones I use. Disgusting decision.
A bus shelter where I live was taken down because yobos half destroyed it
Mine is on Saturday, a 15 minute walk so no need for a bus, and only 1 stop anyway.
We've got ours on Saturday.
Saw GP today and I'm going on calcium vit D and the weekly bone tablet. I asked him if it was the one to be taken standing or could I walk about. He had a laugh and said I could sit as long as I sat straight up as it sometimes upset the stomach. He did say I would have a further DEXA scan in two years but people are usually on the medication for about 5 years.
Ooh, I can, and do
Yes, I was told to stand up and not eat for an hour. This was from someone who had been taking for a long time. Then I actually read the insert, and it said half an hour of not eating and nothing about having to stand just not to lay down.Saw GP today and I'm going on calcium vit D and the weekly bone tablet.

Hope you're ok otherwise.

I had to go to a hospital called Muskgrave which is a bugger to get to and loads of building spread out. Walked in feeling okay and came out feeling like King Tut's granny. Do not climb on chairs to do things, make sure everything is steady. The killer, "If you fall, you will fracture your spine!"
Okay, I did just throw my leg up on a dinning room chair and climb up to change light bulbs etc. Bought some small steps from Amazon after that.
Yep we got some small steps,lot easier. I made the Doctor laugh when I said a friend was taking the weekly tablet and said you had to stand for half an hour. He chuckled and said you could walk about or sit up straight,no lying down or slouching. He did say that was because it couid cause stomach problems, it's the full glass of water that's my concern as it will probably take me 20 minutes to drink it. He said to take it about 30 minutes before I take the Vit D and calcium and statins.Yes, I was told to stand up and not eat for an hour. This was from someone who had been taking for a long time.

I take risidronate weekly, with calcium and vit D twice a day. I have to take a high dose of omeprazole as the risidronate causes me to have a burning sensation. I’m hoping that a dexa scan will say that I don’t have to take it long term. I broke my hip, in an unfortunate accident - I fell over my son’s white stickYep we got some small steps,lot easier.

It's great getting old,up to 12 months ago all I had was an inhaler,now I'm a walking pharmacy.
Good luck Strato. I am still not feeling the best two days after mine. Sort of achy like I am taking the flu with a dull headache.
