BP 116/79 Pulse 92
Weight 214.5 lbs
Saw Dr. Oswalt yesterday. He cleared me for driving (woo hoo!). He kept me on restricted lifting but gave me a schedule for increasing weight. I am trying to take my pain meds only when needed. That has translated into waiting longer between doses. I think I have built a little tolerance for the pain. A 3-4 is annoying. A 5 is tolerable. A 6 makes me start thinking about taking something. Hopefully, I will soon be taking only the occassional ibuprofen for pain.
I am hoping to start easing into work at the office late this week or next. I have been working from home (emails, phone meetings, etc) but because I have not been cleared to drive, I have been unable to be in the office. The doctor didn't specificly clear me for return to work but, as long as I avoid lifting and such, it should be fine.
Taking medications for pain:
Hydrocodone/APAP 5mg/325mg 1 tab when needed for pain
