Back down a step

I have been at the same step for five months and every clinician I meet seems mildly surprised. It is working. I am not moving.

Three weeks per step instead of four, negotiated, and it made all the difference.

Third day after the change is always the worst and I have finally stopped being surprised by it. Knowing it is coming does not make it pleasant, but it does make it survivable.

Asked about going slower and was braced for a fight I did not get. She said plenty of people do better on a longer step and wrote it down. I had spent a week rehearsing an argument.
