[Diabetes-talk] Osteoporosis

[d m gina]

Now Tammy If I am going to be an old lady you have to come with me you 
know giggle.
I have never seen a fold up stepper.
Just the kind where the handles stick out and bump you in wrong places giggle.
Yes I don't know when the folks will put a rail on the other side so I 
have balance on both sides.
You see I climb stairs anyway, just not twenty times a day.
Gee I will need a new outfit if I follow threw really well.
Golly that wouldn't brake my heart any?
smile
