I've made it three weeks post op! I'm moving around great. I've been able to lay on my right side for short amounts of time. I try to sleep like that but then I get sharp pains in my hip, so I have to roll on my back. I've cut back a lot on my pain meds too. Yesterday I had a pill at 6am, 12pm, and then 7pm. I didn't take another pill until I woke up around 5:15 when Jeff got up. I did have a big day yesterday. My sister drove me all the way to my parents' house and we had lunch, went to walmart and went to Batesville. I slept on the couch from 7-9:30 last night and then got in bed and slept until 7:30 this morning. The only issue I am still having is with my incision. For some reason there is a part along the bottom of it that is wide open and keeps "weeping" and bleeding. I took all the antibiotics that my doctor prescribed but it is still bleeding. I took the dressing off this morning and blood actually started pooling in it. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow to get it looked at again. Here are two pics. One is the top part of my scar that is healing up just fine. The other is of the bottom of my scar when I took the dressing off this morning.
