An end to a long first nite at home. Adjustments to not having 4 different meds, plus pain management pills every two hours. We now only have pain management pills every 4 hours, Andrea is ready for them within 2 hours. Her pain has increased from a 4 to a 6 as of Saturday nite and last nite to a 6.5. A call to the neurosurgeon resident at 4:45am this morning went well, but said it will just take more time to control the pain. Both ears have pressure now, jaw still hurts and off course her front and back of her head. She has had continued shoulder and neck pain, due to position during surgery. Hoping she gets some relief soon. We cannot receive visitors yet, but phone calls help jaw movement and emails help too. Thanks for caring.
