Dear Becky,

Thanks so much for once again for your time and trouble to answer my question in terms I can understand. Your responses are always clear and illuminating. Your participation on this board is invaluable and I just want to say THANK YOU! HAVE A GREAT DAY!

P.S. just a "I wonder if" thought, would overweight women have a greater propensity to this tendon anomaly? I am overweight and I wonder just how hard those poor AI's have to work.....:-)
