I’m officially old.
I must be, because I can’t see any other reason why my doctor would send me for a bone density scan.
At first I wasn’t going to have the test, but then I figured if my skeleton was about to crumble to dust I should probably be informed.

I was unaware these things are scored by percentages of youth. But if I’m 114% of a young adult? That’s good enough for me.

Yay for good bones.

I had to laugh at this notice posted by a local water district.

A sense of bureaucratic humor is a beautiful thing.
And speaking of senses of humor, it’s a good thing I have one because my husband went to the dump the other day and came home with this –

I know, you’re jealous.
Guy Lombardo is the autograph you’ve always wanted to add to your collection… but my husband beat you to it.
Better luck next time.

It’s amazing how different deer fur looks in the sun vs the shade. The buck looks glorious standing in the sun with the white snow background.

As with any photography… it’s all about lighting.
They always visit between 4:30-5:30 when half the lawn is in sun and half in shadow.

Your not old, we get better with age, like fine wine. I’ve been getting bone density scans since I tuned 50. My mom use to be my height (5’5) and has since shrunken to the size of a garden gnome without the hat. I’ve been taking D3-K2 suppliments for maintaining normal bone mass as I get older because I refuse to shrink to under 4 feet, EVER! Those deer that visit you are so beautiful, your so lucky to have daily visitors such as those everyday 😉

I may not be old, but I swear I feel it. Everything started going downhill when I hit 50, I was perfect until then. But at least my bones are still young,… that’s something.

Dexa scans are the easiest and least obtrusive of all the indignities of old age – mine are always fine it was my husband who had osteopenia and had a yearly infusion of some drug or other and also fractured each hip…they don’t test men on a regular basis whereas for women it’s a regular thing.
The deer are lovely to see…

It was ridiculously quick and easy. Wish all medical tests were…

When she turned 80, my sister said there was no getting around it – 80 is old. Being in her 70s she could stay in denial. As she said it, my 85 year old brother gave her side-eye. In her late 70s my mom volunteered “delivering meals to seniors”. I asked what that made her. She said “middle-aged”. Funny, because when I turned 35 I admitted to middle age. I figured that was about ½ of normal life expectancy at the time. Plus, I figured “middle” is a range, not a single point.
At least your bones are young adults.

Are you that young?
Guy Lombardo hosted New Years Eve at the Waldorf Astoria for almost 50 years. Long before Dick Clarke’s celebrations in Times Square.
Maybe it’s a New York thing…

I’m 27. Is that young?
(I’m not 27, but my only familiarity with NYE ball dropping involves Dick Clark. Or WAY: too much vodka, but that’s another story.)

Congrats on the bone density test! I’m officially crumbling … no hope. I vaguely remember Guy Lombardo so there is double triple no hope for me!
