Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to the Murphy Salmon Jody after the Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
When you have a doctor's appointment, something that you do
like annually, it will sneak up on you right.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Well, sometimes you swear you just went.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
That's true too.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
But when you have something, and usually it's an important
thing that comes around annually, it's funny, Murphy, because I
think I mentioned to you this weekend. We were sitting
there on the sofa and the family room Saturday morning,
drinking coffee, just catching up because you'd been out of town.
I told you I had a big appointment coming up
for my bone scan in which to bring anybody into
(00:38):
the you know, conversation, I do have osteoporosis, and I
was diagnosed with it about four years ago, three years ago,
and I did three infusions, one every year around this time.
Now the doctor, my Seal, my bone specialist, is we're
not going to do any more than three infusions because
it's a very aggressive treatment. It's aggressive and so but
(00:58):
I do need treatment. So I've already done the three
and this bone scan that I'm scheduled to get now
February of twenty twenty six is will determine if these
infusions worked because he explained to me, you can get
the infusion and check it the next day and it
doesn't make a difference because it takes a year for
that medicine to seep into the bone and work, which
(01:20):
is fascinating. So he wanted to check my bone density
level a year after the last infusion, which here we are.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
You thought you were going to be waiting forever, didn't you.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
No, I knew it was coming around. But what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
The funny thing about me mentioning it to you Saturday
is I didn't pay it.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
I didn't put it on my calendar.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
And I got the oh, you actually have the appointment.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
All right day?
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Oh oh really, I know.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
I know today I got the email.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
So today is my appointment, you know, my annual visit,
and I know it's a they want. This is another
interesting thing is they want you on the very same
machine because those it's the can't just get the bone
scan at any place. They want it on the very
same one because that very same piece of equipment is sensitive.
So today I will find out if these infusions worked,
(02:14):
and I'm nervous. I want them to have worked.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
I'm trying to remember, did you get the results right
away when they scan, they assess it right.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Then one of the yes they always do, like my
obg y N likes to look at it right away,
and last time she looked at it and said, it
looks like you do have some increased bone density, not
where we want it to be, not good enough. And
then that's when the I don't know, how do you
what kind of doctor he is? I call him my
bone doctor. He was the one that said I want
(02:43):
to check it a year later, because what I know,
it's his specialty. He's like, what I know about this
is that you can look at it right after, but
I need the whole year for it to sink in
to see what it really did. So there are there is,
there's a team looking at it right after. But then
he wants to look at the year. So I'm excited
about it. So they've looked at it all along.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
The reason.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I'm kind of nervous about it, I guess is because
I really wanted to have worked in a big way.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Well, just to you know, the reset here is you're
on the very young end of osteoporosis being a thing.
You're much younger than the standard you know, osteoporosis, you
know patients, So anything that can work to help you
for the future is really imprecant because you've got a
lot of years.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
I want to be active and healthy and I want
to feel good and not hurt myself easily. And I
was told when I was diagnosed with this that you've
got the bones of a twenty a woman twenty or
thirty years older than you. Oh wow, yeah, So it's
like why why? They don't really know why. They just know,
let's get you where you need to be. And the
(03:51):
reason I really want it to have worked is because
I can't do any more infusions. They don't recommend that
because of possible side effects, but I have to have
some treatment. And if you're listening to this and you've
been told you have osteoporosis, you know it is an
easy sort of to ignore diagnosis because you don't feel it,
you don't fill your bones. You don't know standing up
(04:13):
walking around that your bones are brittle. You know it
when you fall and break And that's why so many
people don't know they have it until they fall and
break a bone and they end up in you know,
an orthopedic situation, going your bones are very brittle. This
is going to happen again. We've got to do something
about it. But I have to have treatment. The way
it's been explained to me, they'll figure out something else.
(04:35):
I may be on medicine for the rest of my life.
We'll just see. But the way it's been explained is
that my body. Something about my body, and you too,
if you have osteoporosis is eating away your bone.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
They ever say it's a redhead thing.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
They've not said that now.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
He asked me a lot of strange questions about just
you know, my skin, does your skin? Do you have
scalp issues? And I'm like, I kind of do have
scalp issues?
Speaker 3 (04:57):
Interesting? And he wrote notes.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Down And so after I have this bone scan today,
he will get the results and I will have a
follow up appointment with him.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
So if it did not work, they have to come
up with a new course of treatment. Yeah, if it
did work, what do you do?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I don't know. Oh, I'm hoping.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
My dream would be that I could just take calcium
and vitamin D and continue to do the exercises that
I'm doing for the rest of my life because I
have added more strength bearing exercises so that I can
improve my balance. If you can improve your balance and
flexibility as you get older, you reduce your likelihood of
(05:37):
injury a fall.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
That's why core strength training is so important, and over
the last decade or so you've heard the focus on
that because if you choose, if you're basically a sedentary
person and you choose one course of something that will
benefit you later, it's core strength, because it's literally that.
It's the core, it's the center, it's your balance, it's everything.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Yeah, my pipe dream would be I can just take
calcium and vitamin D for the rest of my life,
but it's probably not going to be the case, considering
I have an advanced case of it. You know, there
are women who are much older than me who have
ossiophorosis whose bones are stronger than mine for some reason,
and so I'm going to have to do something else.
(06:19):
I'm going to find out today. And the funny thing
about it is the first time I ever laid down
on that bone scan machine. I told the lady, I
was like, this is the most comfortable thing ever. It's
the easiest test. It is the easiest test. The room
is comfortable, the lights go down, you lay down, it
goes and it goes again. They raise your knees up
(06:39):
and they goes eh again, And I remember going, can
I just stay in her for a while? That was
before the diagnosis. So that's what's going on, and I'm
nervous about the results. But I wanted to just share
it because you know, what's the point of something like
this happening if you don't share it. It is something
(07:00):
that can happen to you, and it is serious, and
you could be walking around with it and not know it.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Well. It's another example of something that you can't feel
and it's not found until it's actually done, you know,
in a doctor's visit. Yeah, because unfortunately, by the time
symptoms show up for some things, it's it's not always
too late, but it can be. And so preventive medicine
is everything. You've been so consistent with exercise and being
(07:26):
healthy that I believe you've, you know, supported your bones
more than you realize through all of this. But I wonder,
you know, because your redhead and your fair skin and
you purposely stay out of the sun, and the sun
is a source of vitamin D. It's almost like a
catch twenty two if you're not in the sun enough,
then you're not getting enough vitamin D.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
And then yeah, well, I will tell you something that
my doctor did tell me about this when I visited
with him. He's I was asking him those sort of questions, like,
I know, I should have been taking vitamin D when
I when I had my kids and I stopped taking
prenatal vitamins. I stopped taking vitamins altogether. And he was like,
he touched my arm. He says, you could have taken
(08:09):
tons of vitamin D and you would still have this.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Oh, really, this is.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Something that you were predisposed to. We don't know why
your body's eating your bone so quickly. We're just going
to you know, I'm sure if he could just go
in and study me, he would, but we're not doing that.
He's just going to try to get me to where
I can be strong for the rest of my life
and hopefully. And the irony is, I've never broken a bone.
(08:32):
You guys know that I've never broken a bone.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Have you felt any of the because you mentioned earlier,
balance loss or anything. Have you felt physically anything different?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
No, I'm stronger since being diagnosed with it. I became
more diligent. I do fudge on the weight training because
I hate lifting weights, but I do more yoga, which
is very core, very balanced, very flexibility, and there's a
lot of muscle engagement to hold those poses.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I do yoga about three times a week.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And and some people will think this is a fad
in fitness or whatever, and I'm but I'm willing to
try it.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I did.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I bet you don't even know this, Sam Murphy knows.
I bought a vibration plate and I have that in our.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Bedroom at home.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I don't know what that is.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
It's a plate that you stand on and you can
do any sort and form of exercise on it. But
it vibrates and I could get up to four and
five and I get on there and I do balance poses,
I do squats and it causes your body to it increases.
Some people say it doesn't, but it's it's good for
(09:39):
your emphatic system.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
It's good for balance for me.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Well, I think that's the you know, any other the
other side benefits of the ones that they question, but
the one you know that they don't do. You know
what a bowshoe ball is, Sam, No, Okay, boshoe is
the half ball with the rubber. It almost looks like
a stability ball itself, but you stand on it. All
those exercises, all of those are designed to strengthening your
core because your muscles are having to work to maintain balance.
(10:04):
It's much more effective than not moving at all. So
there's some exercises that I wind up doing that are
on BOSU. And so what Jody's doing with that this
plate that moves, it's the same thing you're doing your
regular exercises, but it's strengthening your core even more because
your body's having to work to stay stable.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Your body, like, let's just say, instead of standing on
your carpet and doing ten you know, over the arm
raises with little weights, you do that standing on a
vibration plate. Your body is even more engaged. And once
you get off, or if you just stand on a
vibration plate and you do it for ten minutes, I
(10:42):
have found I feel like I did more than I did.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
It's like you get off and you're like, WHOA, I'm
worn out.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
And so it's one of those things that I decided
to try because they're not ridiculously expensive, and I have
used it.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
It became quite the popular thing over Christmas when everybody
was hanging around the house, everybody wanted to get on
the vibration.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
It up to two and we did and he got
off of that. He was like, whoa, yeah, wow, so
I do that.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I don't really know, but I know that some people
have found relief with them. If you have back pain,
lay on it, you can. We watched a movie one time,
we were watching some documentary and I said, do you
care if I bring this in? And I brought it
into the family and I was like, laying on it.
My leg had been bothering me, so I just put it.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
You know, it can't hurt.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You know, I don't have scientific proof, nor do I
have the I don't really care to dig in to
the research of it.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I have a vibration plate. I like it.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I feel like I feel like, maybe even just mentally
in my head, it makes my flexibility and balance better,
and that's.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Important to me. You know. I don't run anymore. I
used to run, you know. I used to run alive
with your vest when I when I want to walk
with my fast I do.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Oh, okay, And you actually fell when you were still
running one time. I remember that. Yeah, And that was
that made me nervous because you scuffed yourself up from
my foot.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
That's when I hurt my foot.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
I will say this though, it's if you've ever been
diagnosed with something that's quiet like this that you could
forget about. It's a wake up call when you go
to the doctor. And that's what they specialize in. Because
when I go after my bone scan, my bone scan
is today, and then after I go to I don't
(12:28):
I want to say what kind of doctor he is,
and I hate that I would have to google it
to tell you.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
But he's a bone doctor. He's a bone specialist.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
For I will walk in and they will that the
questions are interesting, have you fallen recently? How are your
hips in back? How do your hips and backfield? Because
that's where the major bone loss is. On my scan,
you can see the red areas where there's the worst
bone loss, and it's my lower back on one side,
and and it makes you realize, oh, I really have this,
(12:57):
you know, because otherwise you don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
It or feeling because it's internal.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
It's internal, so.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Like high blood pressure. Yeah, Unfortunately a lot of people,
if you don't go to the doctor, you're not ever
going to know, because you don't feel it, and it's
really destructive if you don't catch.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
It, something you could ignore.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah, the reason I'm scared of it and the reason
I will pay attention to it and I'm doing all
that I can is because I am such an active person.
I don't want that taken away from me twenty years
from now. I don't want to fall and then I'm
in bed for months.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Seems to me that the being an active person is
actually what's going to help you get, you know, through
all that and insulate because at whatever point they find
what they're going to find, you can't. You can only
control so much. And I would say that, you know,
you have been so consistent and it's not like you're
an exercise junkie. You just you incorporate an intelligent amount
(13:46):
of exercise into your routine every single week, and you've
done it for many, many, many years, and so the
payoff is going to be there as a result. It's
not like you're just starting out today. Everything that you've
done to this point is going to support you for
the rest of your life.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
You I felt like I got a little therapy for
Murphy and Sam. If you'd like, I'll bring in my
vibration plate here to the studio. If you want to
do some exercise.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
I was going to ask you what I want. I
can bring it, we can try it video.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
It's not gonna trip a breaker, right.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I don't know, Well, maybe I'll just come to the house.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Oh, really, this is.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Something that you were predisposed to. We don't know why
your body's eating your bone so quickly. We're just going
to you know, I'm sure if he could just go
in and study me, he would, but we're not doing that.
He's just going to try to get me to where
I can be strong for the rest of my life
and hopefully. And the irony is, I've never broken a bone.
(08:32):
You guys know that I've never broken a bone.
Speaker 4 (08:35):
Have you felt any of the because you mentioned earlier,
balance loss or anything. Have you felt physically anything different?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
No, I'm stronger since being diagnosed with it. I became
more diligent. I do fudge on the weight training because
I hate lifting weights, but I do more yoga, which
is very core, very balanced, very flexibility, and there's a
lot of muscle engagement to hold those poses.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I do yoga about three times a week.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And and some people will think this is a fad
in fitness or whatever, and I'm but I'm willing to
try it.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
I did.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
I bet you don't even know this, Sam Murphy knows.
I bought a vibration plate and I have that in our.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Bedroom at home.
Speaker 4 (09:17):
I don't know what that is.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
It's a plate that you stand on and you can
do any sort and form of exercise on it. But
it vibrates and I could get up to four and
five and I get on there and I do balance poses,
I do squats and it causes your body to it increases.
Some people say it doesn't, but it's it's good for
(09:39):
your emphatic system.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
It's good for balance for me.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Well, I think that's the you know, any other the
other side benefits of the ones that they question, but
the one you know that they don't do. You know
what a bowshoe ball is, Sam, No, Okay, boshoe is
the half ball with the rubber. It almost looks like
a stability ball itself, but you stand on it. All
those exercises, all of those are designed to strengthening your
core because your muscles are having to work to maintain balance.
(10:04):
It's much more effective than not moving at all. So
there's some exercises that I wind up doing that are
on BOSU. And so what Jody's doing with that this
plate that moves, it's the same thing you're doing your
regular exercises, but it's strengthening your core even more because
your body's having to work to stay stable.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Your body, like, let's just say, instead of standing on
your carpet and doing ten you know, over the arm
raises with little weights, you do that standing on a
vibration plate. Your body is even more engaged. And once
you get off, or if you just stand on a
vibration plate and you do it for ten minutes, I
(10:42):
have found I feel like I did more than I did.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
It's like you get off and you're like, WHOA, I'm
worn out.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
And so it's one of those things that I decided
to try because they're not ridiculously expensive, and I have
used it.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
It became quite the popular thing over Christmas when everybody
was hanging around the house, everybody wanted to get on
the vibration.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
It up to two and we did and he got
off of that. He was like, whoa, yeah, wow, so
I do that.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
I don't really know, but I know that some people
have found relief with them. If you have back pain,
lay on it, you can. We watched a movie one time,
we were watching some documentary and I said, do you
care if I bring this in? And I brought it
into the family and I was like, laying on it.
My leg had been bothering me, so I just put it.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
You know, it can't hurt.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You know, I don't have scientific proof, nor do I
have the I don't really care to dig in to
the research of it.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I have a vibration plate. I like it.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
I feel like I feel like, maybe even just mentally
in my head, it makes my flexibility and balance better,
and that's.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Important to me. You know. I don't run anymore. I
used to run, you know. I used to run alive
with your vest when I when I want to walk
with my fast I do.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
Oh, okay, And you actually fell when you were still
running one time. I remember that. Yeah, And that was
that made me nervous because you scuffed yourself up from
my foot.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
That's when I hurt my foot.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
I will say this though, it's if you've ever been
diagnosed with something that's quiet like this that you could
forget about. It's a wake up call when you go
to the doctor. And that's what they specialize in. Because
when I go after my bone scan, my bone scan
is today, and then after I go to I don't
(12:28):
I want to say what kind of doctor he is,
and I hate that I would have to google it
to tell you.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
But he's a bone doctor. He's a bone specialist.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
For I will walk in and they will that the
questions are interesting, have you fallen recently? How are your
hips in back? How do your hips and backfield? Because
that's where the major bone loss is. On my scan,
you can see the red areas where there's the worst
bone loss, and it's my lower back on one side,
and and it makes you realize, oh, I really have this,
(12:57):
you know, because otherwise you don't know.
Speaker 4 (12:59):
It or feeling because it's internal.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
It's internal, so.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
Like high blood pressure. Yeah, Unfortunately a lot of people,
if you don't go to the doctor, you're not ever
going to know, because you don't feel it, and it's
really destructive if you don't catch.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
It, something you could ignore.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Yeah, the reason I'm scared of it and the reason
I will pay attention to it and I'm doing all
that I can is because I am such an active person.
I don't want that taken away from me twenty years
from now. I don't want to fall and then I'm
in bed for months.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Seems to me that the being an active person is
actually what's going to help you get, you know, through
all that and insulate because at whatever point they find
what they're going to find, you can't. You can only
control so much. And I would say that, you know,
you have been so consistent and it's not like you're
an exercise junkie. You just you incorporate an intelligent amount
(13:46):
of exercise into your routine every single week, and you've
done it for many, many, many years, and so the
payoff is going to be there as a result. It's
not like you're just starting out today. Everything that you've
done to this point is going to support you for
the rest of your life.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
You I felt like I got a little therapy for
Murphy and Sam. If you'd like, I'll bring in my
vibration plate here to the studio. If you want to
do some exercise.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
I was going to ask you what I want. I
can bring it, we can try it video.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
It's not gonna trip a breaker, right.
Speaker 3 (14:15):
I don't know, Well, maybe I'll just come to the house.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
