Yeah, the bald thing would be a killer for me! I did enough damage to my teeth with bubble gum a few years ago...that might have changed my mind.

A few beers on Sunday isn't a big deal...you need 'em if you're a Rams fan (doh! Sorry, couldn't help that)! It's OK, I'm a Titans fan...YIKES!

The Advil thing I would talk to the pdoc about...he might have some alternative pain meds for your hands.

As for testing, they'll do once a month for 2 or 3 months, 3 months after that, and maybe longer after that...it just depends on the doctor.

As for info from the doc...learn as much as you can and ask as many questions as you need to...he's gettin' $300-$400 and hour...make him earn it!
