I always get up at the crack of dawn (well actually way before) and my mind is fully operational.

This morning what was racing through my mind

Look at Microsoft Outlook calendar, when did I last take pain-killer (range is take one every four to six hours), well I slept six hours so this is a no-brainer but I can not stress enough that if you go thru this to document when meds were taken and for some may want to create alerts for when the next times are. So my cephalexin is also on alerts.

Now let's talk pads, I am constantly checking mine and immediately changing to a new one no questions asked to ensure I eliminate possible chances of infection down there. Yeah the subject line may have been done better but the point is the same, it is critical to take care of yourself while recovering between the initial hospital stay and the post surgery appointment and beyond. Keep it flowing in your mind "personal hygiene"
