Susan Lyons Yes, I did take 2 mg of melatonin last night and didn't seem to lay awake as long but think it's made me a big groggier than usual. Maybe take 1 mg tonight. Plus I did do some snow moving yesterday- 2 feet at one time is too much!

Lila Richards Hi Susan, my surgery date was Oct. 19 and my scar looks exactly like what you described! Guess that's normal...I have to take ambien when I can't sleep, one half tab works fast, no waking up during the night, and no groggy effects. It's proscribed so maybe ask your doctor if your insomnia persists.
Happy New Year!

James Johnson The incision shield was mentioned in Adam's book, so I purchased one and it has been a lifesaver. The purpose of the shield is to keep shirts, blouses, etc. off of your incision to prevent irritation. It also allows for air movement to help the incision to heal. The shield is flexible, adjustable and washable and I would highly recommend this item for OHS. I might add I wear it at night, too, in order to keep the sheets from rubbing against the incision. If the Docs are going to crack your chest, then this is the ticket!

Phyllis Petersen I was told not to put anything on my skin after I left the hospital. Hopefully, it's healing now. Otherwise, are you healing well? Since you were the day after me, I haven't quite caught up with everyone.
