I actually do have brittle bones. That’s one of the reasons I first took up weight training- to help maintain bone density. I had my first DEXA (bone density) scan done in my early 30s. I had fractured my clavicle by just carrying a kayak. I hurt myself carrying the kayak to the water, but I still went kayaking. It was a holiday weekend, so I wait d another two days to have it x-rayed. When I told my doctor how and when I’d broken it, she told me that I was crazy. I spent the next six weeks in a sling. Having a high pain tolerance is both a good thing and a bad thing. I’ve learned to listen to my body better because as I get older, I’ve learned that I don’t bounce back as quickly as I used to. But, I’m still made of magic things and the left over fire of silently exploded stars. 😀
