Four days ago I was at a barbeque at a friends cabin up a ski hill, and I was walking from the outside of the cabin to the campfire, slipped on some snow when ice and found and could not get back up. I could not put any weight on my foot and I end up going down from the ski mountain to emergency in the hospital that night that was not really a lot of fun then they did x-rays on my foot and determined that I had broken my ankle in three places as well as dislocating it.

I had to have surgery on it that night and then stay in the hospital for three days after that recovering . The thing that shocked me is that I had never had broken bones before and it wasn't really until after I did research but I realize that there was a strong correlation between breast cancer treatment and loss of bone health.

Anyways, this means more time off work, loss of income, and pain.. I'm so frustrated.

    So sorry to hear about your ankle! Have you had a DEXA scan to determine if this was just a freak accident or if you do have bone loss? Sending good thoughts that you heal quickly!
