1st Weekend after Surgery Sunday

Sunday, September 23, 2012

Everyone finally left last night around 12 and I was able to get in bed and have a really good sleep.  I woke up this morning, and since I had taken so little of the prescription hydrocodone yesterday, my parents wanted me to try just taking Motrin and Tylenol today.  My mom asked me on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the worst, what my level of pain was and I told her it was a 3 or 4.  Plus, I was planning to go to school tomorrow and couldn't go or drive if I was still on the prescription pain meds. I took 4 Motrin every four hours.  That is 16 Motrin.  And I took 2 eight hour Tylenol Eight Hour twice, once at noon and the second time at 8.  That really did a good job on the pain.  I felt fine but just really tired. Maybe all the excitement has worn off and this is my let down.   No friends came over today.  It was just a chill kind of day.  I watched football and tried to catch up on my homework.  I am going to see if my parents can take my by the doctor and get this drain out.  Nothing has drained for over two days and my dressing is really loose.  Maybe they can redo that too!
