Pain is pretty much gone today (I was down to 1 pain pill every 6 hours the day before). But I still took 2 Tylenol PM (as I had since the second night) to help me sleep.
The hardest part of the meds routine was that the antibiotic I was on had to be taken 4 times a day, which means you need to take one basically in the middle of the night. I would stay up until midnight, take an antibiotic, then sleep until 6am and take another, and then go back to sleep until 8am. Luckily, my kids are old enough to get themselves up and ready for school (with some gentle prodding by my husband).
My friends brought us dinner every night, carpooled and took care of our kids, and visited and called me to keep my spirits up. I had so much help from family, friends, neighbors, and my wonderful husband that I felt truly blessed and loved. The outpouring was deeply moving, and I was very grateful.
I was able to take the head/ear bandage off and put antibiotic ointment on it. Some of the bandage was stuck to the stitches, so I left it in there to let the doctor deal with it.
