Yeah, that was implied. And that phone call really was a godsend, as I 
intended to buy a new one the next day!

Oh, you're a walking disaster area! Chuck.. do you take fish oil 
capsules and glucosamine? That will REALLY help. I can recommend from 
personal experience. You need to take at least four fish oil caps and 
two gluco caps a day. I've determined that by trial and error. That's 
for the joint pain and mobility. I don't know about tendinitis.
