Hey, Sunray...glad this affliction didn't happen during your recent visit here...(or did you do it when I told you the Latin joke?)
As a solution, wouldn't a visit to a walk-in clinic and subsequent bone density scan have some merit...as already suggested by your gracious hostess?
As an aside, you know full well between which words in your Funk & Wagnall's lies the word "sympathy".
You let it slip out during your visit...I ain't telling...'til we discuss extortion renumeration!
