My doc said I don't get labs again until March. My blood sugars are great and I lost weight, so that was a plus.

My physical therapist, though, wasn't as hopeful. He put me back on traction for another month and will re-evaluate after that. But there's not much else he can do, and I don't want to go to pain management again. The last time didn't help at all.

So win some, lose some. It's still good.
