BP 109/67 Pulse 95
Weight 213.0 lbs
The incision seems fine. The bottom 1/2 inch of the incision still has a scab. The rest of the incision is scab free although there will be a doozy of a scar.
Taking medications for pain:
Hydrocodone/APAP 5mg/325mg 1 tab every 4 hrs except when experiencing increased pain
Ibuprophen 200mg every 4-6 hrs discontinued - last dose 7-23 at 9 am - I am concerned about taking Ibuprophen over such an extended period. I am waiting for clarification from the doctor's office.
Painwise, there is still some, especially when I sleep through a dose or forget a dose. I guess the fact that I can sleep through a dose or lose track of time and take one late is a sign that my pain is getting better. My neck has started bothering me but I think that has more to do with sleeping on my back (haven't done that for years) than the surgery itself.
I see Dr. Oswalt on Tuesday (7-26). I hope he clears me for driving. I've also got to get back to full work sometime.
