Thanks for your comments and suggestions. Kath, I'm not due to see my oncologist until February as I've only recently seen her and thought we could get away with a 6monthly, rather than a 3 monthly appointment, guess I'll need to see her again soon - best laid plans as they say! Deanne, thank you for the info on your local osteoporosis clinic, sounds good and I hope we have something similar on the Central Coast, I'll look into it. Thanks also for your good wishes Michelle, Rowdy and Melclarity, I have been feeling particularly down and fragile over the past few days as this particular accident has come at a very stressful time in our family's life but I guess all I can do is try to keep moving forward xx
