Recent release "Dexascan: Beyond a Missed Opportunity" from Page Publishing author K.J. Kidd is a cautionary tale reflecting upon her life before and after her diagnosis of osteoporosis and the debilitating spinal fractures that accompany the disease.
NEW YORK, Feb. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- K.J. Kidd, a Missouri native born and raised along the banks of the Mississippi, has completed her book "Dexascan: Beyond a Missed Opportunity": an autobiographical work offered to encourage other women to be proactive about their bone health and to seek the screenings that provide early detection.
Kidd shares, "On September 28th of 2013, I spent my entire morning walking up and down Clearwater beach as I usually did every day. About an hour after I got home, I fell victim to a seven fracture vertebrae spinal snap. By the end of the day, I was crippled and paralyzed. I have never recovered.
"Did you know that Osteoporosis has been referred to as a serial killer by researchers?
"Do you find it shocking that Osteoporosis kills more women than all gynecological cancers combined?
"Would you find it appalling that over thirty-four million women have this disease and don't know it, many between the ages of forty-five and fifty-five?
"One in six women that are admitted to the hospital from a fracture usually do not survive.
"General Practitioners are not taking this seriously and will not share these statistics with their patients. From growing up 60's to where I got to now, this story will not fail you. My name is K.J.Kidd and I have become the constant voice in your ear to believe me when I say that this has reached unacceptable levels.
"Proceeds from the sales of this book will go the Dexascan Awareness Foundation.
"The journal I kept from the onset of this disease needed to be published and put into the hands of our Mothers, Daughters, Wives and Grandmothers."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, K.J. Kidd's book is a personal reflection on her journey with osteoporosis.
