I did get in to see the dr. today - just got back.  He said it was tendonitis and for now, to keep wearing the brace, using ice and he gave me a prescription for a stronger anti-inflammatory.  He said if it doesn&#39;t get better in the next week or so, we may have to look at doing steroid and pain meds injections.  I definitely do not want the steroids, I have enough trouble losing weight as it is.  We have never been to Alaska but Greg would love to go someday.  I am not prone to want to do an Alaskan cruise because living in a land locked state with horrendous winters, I always want to go to the Caribbean where it is sunny, warm and has beaches.  We will amke it there someday on a road trip.   Jackie, glad to hear that Tony is feeling better.  My mother was in both upper and lower dentures by the time she was 20 so I have always done everything I can to avoid that with my own and my kids mouths.  Did the dr. say how long before he would be able to have that steak?  Well, guess I had better go get dinner started - everything takes longer when you are doing it one handed&#33;&#33;&#33;
