Followup with Primary Care Physician

Today we visited with Marshall's primary care physician here in Westcliffe just to keep up with his health in general.  He is going to arrange for a bone scan so that we can get a baseline look at what Marshall's bone strength is at this point, and we also have to pay attention to cholesterol levels, too, so there was more lab work done today.

Now we are waiting for the dentist to call back (he's out of town for a week) to get the dental appointment out of the way in preparation for the bone strengthening medication that will be started in July.

The side effects from Monday's injection so far have been (1) severe pain at the injection site that lasted two days; (2) more hot flashes; (3) dry mouth; and (4) extreme fatigue.  All of these are really minimal when you look at the big picture.

Now, on to the fun things that are going to keep Marshall occupied in the coming months and years ----- we are going shopping for that new Harley!!!  Stay tuned for pictures.
