One of the reason I enjoy going to the pool is that I can indulge in a long hot shower afterwards. To my horror, the water was icey-cold this morning! Being no longer in need of cold showers, I dispensed with it altogether and pulled out the old and almost-forgotten stick deorant.
I no longer remembered how to use it, so I looked at the instructions on the back of it which read, "Remove cap and push up bottom." Well, I can barely walk now but whenever I fart it makes the room smell very nice.
Which is just as well because my GP phoned to ask me to pop in as the results from my bone density scan and blood test had come in. He told me that my blood pressure and blood test both were fine, with the Vitamin D level slightly on the low side, but that the bone density test had revealed the onset of osteoporosis. He prescribed a six-monthly injection of Prolia® which the nurse administered there and then.
When I got home, I consulted Dr Google who told me that "Prolia® is a prescription medicine used to treat osteoporosis in women after menopause", so I am now confused about my sexuality as well.
Speaking of vocabulary, as I was resting my osteoporotic bones on the sundrenched verandah while listening to ABC Radio National, I heard the announcer use the phrase "on my behalf" when she quite obviously had meant to say "on my part". Have the two now become synonymous?
