> Today I got a full body bone scan (ordered by my gynecologist.)  The tech
> was very surprised at my excellent report because I have never drunk milk,
> exercised much or taken any calcium and my grandmother had severe
> osteoporosis. I asked her if she had ever read any of the research
> regarding breastfeeding and osteoporosis, she said she had "heard of
> it."  When I told her I had breastfed 9 years and maybe that was a factor,
> she just raised her eyebrows and didn't make much comment. Later,I started
> to wonder if she thought my mother  breastfed me 9 years! A good laugh!
> This may be all over my small town by tomorrow, adding more to the "Pam
> Wiggins is a  breastfeeding nutcase" dialogue.

> Keep smiling.
