Appendectomy, one week later

I had no idea a 3 small incisions in my abdominal region could hurt so much! After 4 days of popping Percocet every 4 hours I was finally able to switch to Tylenol.

I had my 1 week post-op visit yesterday at Boston Medical Center. The NP said things look great and I shouldn’t have any problems with it, but I’m still not supposed to lift anything over 20 lbs for 5 more weeks. That’s one instruction I’m probably not going to be able to follow.
