I finally got my bone density test result.
All is good in general
My spine has just some light facet joint arthritis and alignment is normal.
Lumbar rachis density is normal
My femoral neck (hips) is at -1.5 which is light osteopenia with very light risk of fracture. - so nothing to worry about just yet.
For the whole body xray is it at .7 which is a normal value
So conclusion says very light osteopenia center at the femoral neck. And very weak risk of fracture.
MY PT saw the report and she said it is nothing to worry about. We'll keep exercising and eating as well as we can.
Now, as for my gym this past week, it was totally scrapped. I did nothing intelligent with my body! haha
The return to work after the 2 weeks' was so hard. Getting up at 4:15am is a killer. And it was a deep cold in Montreal (with -38c windchill) nothing is better than a fire place and crash in bed at 8:30pm. Hubby was sick with some hard cold (no flu - just a strong fast arriving - fast gone cold).
Seeing my PT Tuesday night and we'll get the gym plan in order. She said a lot of her patients this week did nothing much with their bodies. hahaha So I felt not so alone in the situation.
Thinking it was better, I wore my heels at work on Monday and Tuesday. I noticed the pain coming back so I had to remove them. Back to flat shoes for some while. It will get better but it is taking so long it is discouraging. Night knee pain and hot flashes is a great combo for little sleep-nights!
PT told me last night to just ride my bike (trainer) this weekend for the fun. No training, no speed, no intervalls. Just spin. She's thinking my body only needs to find some regularity into training and it will start next week with a real program and goals to achieve. Much easier to stay on the right track with a plan.
So more to continue next week.
At least the bones are good. The knees are in much better shape and PT will look into building me a new winter program with a goal of a 110km ride this coming June.
