I don't know if I've gained weight, but today when I went on my short walk, my back was in knots. Normally I can do that walk. I was hoping to go to a shop today. I rarely get out of the house. But because of my back, I don't think I can. And I was really looking forward to it. I'm very disappointed and I'm trying not to feel sad.

In two weeks, I see my back doctor. I've been doing physical therapy. I need a better solution. I'm going to ask for an injection. I hope he says yes. I'm so worried he will shoot me down. I guess if he does, I'll get a second opinion.
