When I first went home I was on 5 mg Oxy for the first 16 days along with Tylenol. Then I switched to Tylenol and advil every 4 hours alternating. I did not like the Oxy but I’m not one for taking pain meds of any sort. I have a lot of pain because they had to make a large 5” incision to get the spleen out because it began to bleed and I also have fibromyalgia and lupus which make a small issue more dramatic 🤪. I’m glad you’re going home soon. Big hugs for a smooth recovery.
Eating is a very slow process. I started out with chicken broth and egg whites. Very bland diet. Then I added a piece of marble rye bread with very little butter. I am still on a bland diet but have eaten chicken, pasta, broccoli and mashed potatoes, small pieces of Colby jack cheese and applesauce.
