Day 2 Postop

[over65 133]

Flexeril works for moderate pain. But once home, I didn't even need pain med. Most pain is GAS. So Mylicon, walking and spirometer. That little toy they give you to avoid pneumonia. You have to blow the little ball up and hold it there as long as possible. I read that taking deep breath for blowing moves diaphragm down and helps move gas out.

No pain meds at home?

Yes, I had Tylenol 3 - which is nowhere near as effective as the morphine they give you in the hospital. And day 3 and 4 were awful. I only had to take the T3 for four days though -- and the most I took per day is 2 pills. I think I took two pills Saturday and Sunday, then one on Monday & Tuesday...and was off them by Wednesday.
