uses up the bones Explanation: I took cortisone twice, it makes me to increase my weight, uses up the bones and uses up … The “questo” which means “this” probably stays for a “sign language” or showing to a specific part of the body, or is a typo. I can’t come up with nothing else. In any case the original is not a very literary Italian. |
