Broken Bones: Growing up with Juvenile Osteoporosis - Forward

Forward

For a while now I have wanted to write about my experience growing up with Juvenile Osteoporosis.  I had ambitions of writing the whole thing about as a book and doing something with that.  Instead, I have decided to release it in sections as a serial on here.  I am going to release one chapter every week until I am finished.  I have about 4 chapters written so far and I am not sure how many I will add as I go.

This writing is from my head and from my heart.  I have not gone back to look at my medical records, or checked the spelling of people's names.  All of the dates are approximates.  I am doing this for myself more than anything and I am going from what I remember as little kid and what my parents have shared with my over the years.

I hope that if you read this, you enjoy learning about what it was like growing up with this, and how I overcame the struggles and limitations that were imposed upon me because of it.
