There's some soreness at the incision and a dull pain in what seems my chest bone (top and bottom), my back is sore under my right shoulder blade near the spine. The incision, itself, seems to be healing fine -- no drainage or heat from the area.
BP 120/66 Pulse 94
Weight 216.4 lbs
Taking pain medications:
Hydrocodone/APAP 5mg/325mg 1 tabs every 4 hrs (reduced from previous days)
Ibuprophen 200mg every 4-6 hrs
I reduced my pain medicine dose to see if I can ween off of it. I can certainly tell it. The pain is more annoying than yesterday but I am taking 1/2 the dosage. It may be too soon to try to reduce the Hydrocodone. I'll probably need more to sleep tonight. I tried to lay down to rest earlier today and it was a complete non-starter. I couldn't even get comfortable. Update: I had to increase to 1.5 tabs every 4 hours in the evening as I was pretty much in 5-6 level pain all day.
