Bone diseases just flat out intrigue me, as I mentioned before. I find myself totally enthralled by how close to all of us they really are, and how we truly are in danger of them crushing our lives like they have crushed countless others'. This time, I focused a blog entry on a disease called avascular necrosis. This disease turned out to be the collapsing of bone, and virtually frightened me to death. The prospect of my bones just giving out on me over time is truly a disheartening thought.

Bones are often something we find ourselves depending on without second thought. What happens when we lose the ability to depend on them? What if they start to fall apart? We will be left without structure. We will lose many abilities, depending on what region is affected. I am happy that I learned so much writing this blog, although I am also a bit frightened. The reality of it just sets me right on edge.
