7-23-09 morning update

BP 113/68 Pulse 78
Weight 214.6 lbs

The incision is doing great. Under the incision is starting to inch a bit. I have read that this is normal. Bad thing about it -- you can't scratch under the skin! Putting pressure on it with my heart pillow helps.

Taking medications for pain:
Hydrocodone/APAP 5mg/325mg 1 tab every 4 hrs except when experiencing increased pain
Ibuprophen 200mg every 4-6 hrs

I was such a bum yesterday. I did housework stuff but I did not go for a walk. It wasn't incredibly hot yesterday but it did feel more humid. My weight is holding steady at around 214, which is still 5 lbs heavier than before my surgery and about 30 lbs more than I would like to weight. I can not workout with weights but I definitely need to get more walking in. I haven't been eating excessively. I just haven't been very active during my recovery.
