Tonight I had to argue with her about going tomorrow. I told her that she had to. I hope that she listens to me.

She does not like riding in the back of an ambulance, she also becomes (what I think is) overly embarrassed about ... umm ... incontinence. It has been explained to her numerous times that all the folks involved are medical professionals, and while it is not the most pleasant job in the world, cleaning her up is part of what they do. This is, of course, a stupid reason to decline a necessary medical procedure. I understand that she is scared. But at this point, she should just say so. If I am awake early enough I may call her doctor to see if it would be safe to sedate her for the ride. Not totally out, just enough so she doesn't care.

She's getting morphine every three hours already, so this probably isn't an option.
