thanks again, everyone. I have to go get a thing for my trunk. a RACK. that's the word..then i can ride wherever i want. i saw some at Target for low cars. i have a low car,( sedan) not an SUV, so i need a certain type. hopefully i'll get to Target this week.

i have the band for my elbow, but the massage therapist told me it's not going to help me unless i have to do heavy work, then to use it for prevention. i guess each case is unique. STILL raining here, so i don't know when i'll get out. i might try to get to target today for a rack.
