Message: <blockquote data-quote="zand" data-source="post: 1930823" data-attributes="member: 85197">Last December I decided to walk to my son's house (3 miles away) so that I could get an electrician round for him as my son had to be at work.   I couldn't drive there as there was too much snow.   When I got about half way I slipped on the ice and broke my wrist.  I continued to my son's house, phoned the electrician and waited for him and then took painkillers and walked to the hospital to be treated.  Then I walked home (up a massive hill).  7 miles in all.  I had previously broken bones  (rib and sternum) in a freak accident at a football stadium in Germany, so this meant there was concern that I may have osteoporosis, ( I was 60 years old) so I needed bone scans.Now the great news is that my bones were fine.  Not even osteopenia.  My bones were as strong as the average 30 year old woman!  Yep all that extra weight I have been carrying around for years has strengthened my bones.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />  So should I judge slim women who have the misfortune of having osteoporosis?  Of course not, but then why do people judge me for being fat and being T2?  I just don't get it, I really don't.   It is not my fault that I am fat.  It is not my fault that I have T2.</blockquote>
