She mentioned something about taking exercise classes at a senior center but I wonder how qualified the instructors are. Now I'm worried she'll break something. I'll mention going to a physical therapist but I wonder if Medicare would cover it. It's probably considered 'normal aging' and they won't pay for it. This just makes me so sad because she is my favorite relative and a very sweet woman. I can't allow myself to think of losing her in the future.

I attended a lecture on osteoporosis given by physicians at the local hospital recently. One of them described a surgery where small prostheses are inserted in the the spine to elevate and straighten it, and alleviate pain from the fractures. It would all be up to her doctors of course.
