One more month down

Last week (Feb. 11) had my month visit with my PCP.  I only lost one pound and she is concerned about my blood sugar levels from the lab work she had me do last month.  Therefore, I need to get a glucose tolerance test.  Not looking forward to that.  I would have done it today but then inclement weather moved in so am staying home today and will attempt to do it tomorrow morning.  It means getting up early and spending three hours at the lab.  Hopefully between blood draws can walk around some and get in some extra exercise.  I also have an appointment on Feb. 25th with my pain doctor to see if there is more we can do for my back.  The injections at the very tip of my tailbone are working great but the injections for the arthritis around the area of my waist are not helping a lot.  The TENS unit helps some but even that is not totally getting it.  I am wondering if maybe some chiropractic visits or physical therapy wouldn't help out some.  I really need to get to the point were I feel like going to the gym.  It may ultimately come down to just forcing myself to go but if there are things we can do that will help make it less painful that will be great.
