Back to the ER

Vicki had to skip her radiation treatment today, and instead went directly to the ER at Georgetown University Hospital. She had been having significant difficulty communicating and seemed rather incoherant. After a number of tests the doctors believe she may have made a mistake on her pain medications which caused her to be so disoriented. I just spoke with her on the phone and she sounded much better than this morning. She may be able to come home tomorrow. Several doctors will see her in the morning and evaluate her condition. She will also see Dr. Putnam, a pain management specialist she has seen before. We hope that Dr. Putnam can continue to help Vicki strike the right balance to have relief from the pain, but also not be overcome by the medications.
