Last night was kind of rough. Tracey's pain hit a 10 at 5am. It took over an hour and 2.5 mg of Dilaudid to bring it back down. The Physical Therapist came in around 8 and argued with Tracey for about 15 minutes. PT told her that they could not make any kind of schedule because of the hospital environment. Tracey ask "why not, its not like someone needs physical therapy STAT" Tracey and PT finally came to an arrangement that they would be by sometime between 9 and 10 am. Tracey did do some exercised and did get up and walk with assistance. That is good.

Dr. Tabsh came in and Tracey told him that she is very scared of discontinuing steroids. Dr. Tabsh told her that he would do it very slowly and would watch very closely for any changes. He promised her that she gets to make the all decisions and everything is up to her. She agreed but she is still scared.
