The incision is healing well. The real discomfort is in my ribs and under the incision. That's going to take some time to heal. Morning muscle stiffness in the chest and back makes getting out of bed a challenge but it seems to be slowly improving, or I am getting better at "pouring" myself out of bed.
Taking medications for pain:
Hydrocodone/APAP 5mg/325mg 1 tab every 4 hrs except when experiencing increased pain (rare)
Ibuprophen 200mg every 4-6 hrs
Looks like this weekend we will see some sub-100 temperatures. I am ready for it. I want to get out to get some exercise but it is too doggone hot outside to do it. I am not cleared to drive so I can't take myself somewhere to walk indoors. I've been waiting until night to go for walks but I'd rather do things during the day. I'd also like to be allowed to lift more but I know that is a doctor's order to assure a better recovery. I don't have to like it. I just have to follow it.
Have a great day.
