So now I'm supposed to periodically have:
- the yearly poke and feel
 - a year physical
 - my boobs smoooshed
 - a stress test
 - a camera up my ass
 - a bone scan
 
I'm sure there are more, but I don't want my insurance company to drop me.
So, yesterday I had the bone scan.  You lay on this x-ray like table and a big metal arm thing x-rays you from right below the breast to the top of the thigh.
This test checks for bone loss in menopausal years.
GOOD NEWS!   Doc says I have very minimal bone change in one area (he didn't say where) no biggie.  He also said my spine was better than perfect.  I don't know how anything can be better than perfect...but I'll take his assessment.  He said at this rate, I should never break a bone in this lifetime.  Which is a good thing considering my husband is already badly arthritic stricken.
Just means I'll be able to help his old cobbled ass when he falls and breaks a hip and his life alert doesn't kick in.
