They are saying now there will be continuous rain today, and it has already been raining for hours. It is as dark as night in here. Anyway, the doctor has prescribed fosamax for my mother as her bone density scan was not good. I told her to check to make sure her vitamins contained calcium and to start drinking milk and eating cheese. Brittle bones in the elderly can be a real problem as even a minor bump could potentially cause a fracture. Sis was pointing out that there were certain guidelines to taking it as well.

Sorry to hear about your mom, I hope the Fosamax helps her bones get stronger. It's good that your sister is paying attention to the guidelines, because those matter with that medicine. Stay dry out there, that rain sounds like a lot.

My late grandmother took that. She didn’t have any problems taking it so hopefully it will work for your mother too.
