Surgery on Tuesday morning went great; took a few tylenol through Tuesday evening; took last 2 early Wednesday morning; haven't had any since

Never filled the Rx for Vicodin - but had lots of offers from people I know to buy it from me if I'd fill the Rx for them. Okay?

Removed my lovely "hat" (pictures on another topic entitled "My BAHA hat") 24 hrs post op. Under the hat was a stiff square pink foam bandage held in place by a small round white plastic cap. This was supposed to stay in place until next Wednesday when the doc was going to remove it.
But, this morning as I was pulling my shirt over my head to go into the shower, I felt a tug on my head, heard something hit the floor and looked down to see my bandage and cap on the bathroom floor

After staring at them in disbelief and feeling like a complete idiot, I decided I'd better call the doc to see what I should do. One of the corners of the bandage must have gotten snagged in my shirt. It probably also didn't help that I was removing said shirt with my left hand while I used my right hand to brush my teeth. Okay, I admit it, I like to multi-task LOL
Since it's only Friday, doc said it was way too early to have them removed and they needed to go back on. Asked one of my twins - age 12 - to put it back on for me, but was met with a lot of "ooooooohs and grosses" so I had to travel to the doc's office so he could do it for me. While I was there, I felt compelled to apologize profusely to the office staff for taking everyone's time for something so completely stupid.
Moral of the story - like my mother pointed out to me when I told her earlier today - don't wear a shirt that has to be pulled over your head post BAHA surgery! I guess I figured I was smarter than that because I had pulled same shirt over my head about 6 times in the 2 days since I removed my "BAHA hat".
Some days I think I'd be better off just staying in bed - and today was just one of those days

Thank God my boss had no issues with me showing up 2 1/2 hours late for work.
