Osteoporosis Report

3-11-09
Dear Granny,
I have been studying osteoporosis for the past two weeks and learned a lot and also found out things I thought were interesting! I wanted to write this to you because I know you're healthy, and it affects women who are older the most, and I thought of you!
Osteoporosis is one of the leading causes of bone fractures and breaks such as hip, wrist, spine and others. If you feel as if your bones are getting weaker and you are loosing strength you may want to consider having a bone density test! This test will give you the results in 2-4 days, and the test only takes 10-20 minutes.
I learned that fractures are mainly diagnosed by x-ray, telling if you have any broken bones. Then they will do another test most likely to see if you had a fracture by weak bones coming from osteoporosis possibly. When or if you do get diagnosed by it then they will be put you on medication. The doctor will tell you to take vitamin D and have a lot of calcium to help this. They also say to have a healthy lifestyle and exercise to stay strong and NOT to drink a lot of alcohol and to not smoke.
I hope that you like knowing that I have learned about osteoporosis and what I learned! I also hope that you know its out there and it wouldn't be random or unlikely to affect you. So maybe you learned something by me learning it and telling you!
Love you,
Kayla

Mideval Journal- Compare

My life in Medieval times is different from my life today because Today I only have 3 family members that live in my home and I go to school as only a seventh grader. My brother is older then me and we are pretty close and are usually together, we don't really have a lot of family time, we are usually doing our own things. The culture today is different because I don't usually play outside with friends we just hang out in sports or inside. In the government that I live in anyone can live in there. and you can walk whenever you want as long as there's not a curfew in your town, And the prices are kind of high but I think they are decreasing. Also today when we have performances like that they are at a circus! or at a special building.

medieval Journal- Medieval Event

There was a lot of people here and it was fun! But my whole family was here, and Me and my sister were performing. This took Place at A big building we have in our town. With a bunch of other performers. It happened just last week! Nothing really caused this because it was a fun event that was planned for performers of the town. At this event My sister and I were performing and a bunch of other acrobats to see who got placed and won a prize of money!! i got to witness it because i was part of it. I was very happy and excited to be a part of it. Other people clapped and were talking and having a good time! Also at the end they passed out the prizes and announced 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places. Me and my sister placed 2nd. =]

And my family and I are pretty close and are together except when were working and all very busy! My sister and I are close since we work together as acrobats! My family Loves to eat vegetables and sweets! We eat Mostly healthy but usually have sweets once a day if not more! I like to eat corn, potatoes, and meat! Also i love like ice cream or any sweet that Mom makes cause she is the Cook!! The geography that is in my country is that we have a Lot of grown vegetables, the main one is the corn! Also we have some fruit trees and i also love fruit, and other trees that grow to be pretty, we have a nice community and i love it!

mideval journal- Government

In Austria where I live I have Serbian Government, Jews were not allowed to live in Austria up until 1848 which i disagree with because I think everyone should have been able to live in this country no matter what religion. But one of the laws that i agree with was that children are not allowed alone when younger then 13 to roam the streets or buy food for parents etc. they must have an older sibling with them or an adult or parent! In my family we are Christian and we love the way that we live our life! Most of the time where i live in Austria no one has a problem with our government but sometimes people do have a problem with the way prices are in our towns, but we believe that they are quite high but they will hopefully drop and that we need more natural resources!
