Oh DONNA! I didn't know you had such pain.

Osteoporosis...I don't know how much calcium you get in your diet, but sometimes people don't absorb it all. Having a good Calcium tab with vitamin D and magnesium in it really increases the absorption.

A fellow at my church has had two knee replacements, as well as a neighbour near me - and the new knees these days seem to work really well, though you have to take it easy for a while...

I think you are getting some medical disability? Could they be of any help in supplementing income if you have the surgery and are off? Or if you found a main-floor apt that you could afford, might they help you with that?

Can't hurt to ask them.

{{{{{hugs}}}}} I hope a solution comes your way soon!
