UNC Dr. Hackman bilateral surgery 6/5/2024

Thank you for the update, @HappyBear. I’ve been thinking about you & was going to check in today if you hadn’t posted so good timing on your part!

I’m glad your pain level has reduced. I took Rx pain meds for about 6 weeks post op but began spreading them out i.e every 8 hrs instead of every 4 during my second week post op, going forward, I cut them in half & only took as needed which often was just at bedtime. I hope you’re able to do the same. I struggled w/ the constipation issue too & used CALM as my fix for that. It’s magnesium citrate powder which can be used at whatever strength you choose. I’m only offering that info in case you’re dissatisfied w/ whatever you’re using.

I hope your healing continues w/o a hitch. :hugs:
