They gave me hydrocodone and acetaminaphen in one pill.
I’m supposed to take two pills every four hours, but I only take one because the pain has not been that
bad since I woke up in the recovery room. I will probably not finish the prescription because I do not
take drugs for no reason, and my pain is little enough that there is no sense of taking more than I need.
I’m feeling all right, but there are a couple of pesky spots that are still leaking a bit. Again, not too bad,
but I’m not going to my follow-up appointments until I stop bleeding entirely. I have some stitches to
come out as well.
No redness or swelling near the incision? As long as the leaking remains clear, and the bleeding stops soon, all seems good to me, but I’m not a doctor. I know what you mean about the pain pills. I can handle a certain amount of pain.
Try to sleep as much as possible, even though I know that can be difficult when you’re feeling uncomfortable.
