Via Monastica 2022
I just got my results of a biennial bone density scan and was totally delighted (and surprised) at the results.
The background is that I take a medication that can cause osteoporosis--and in previous years the numbers had been in alarming freefall (after having higher than average baseline density).
But after 2 years in a row of walking the Camino...voila! Not only has the freefall reversed itself but the numbers are almost back to what they were before I started the medication.
I know very well that with a sample size of 1 I can say anything I please...and my conclusion may be correct or it may be dead wrong. So I wonder--have others have had a similar experience?
If I'm right, maybe I can get a prescription from my doctor for a yearly long walk???
