Furthermore, in infected patients the excretion of antigen in urine may vary. ========================== IMAGING ========================== ___ CXR - Bilateral hazy opacity involving the perihilar regions and lung bases, perhaps slightly worse in the left mid lung field compared to the prior study. Findings may reflect mild pulmonary edema superimposed on a background of chronic interstitial lung disease which was better assessed on the prior CT chest. No large pleural effusion. ___ Chest CT - 1. No evidence of pulmonary embolism or aortic abnormality. 2. Diffuse ground-glass opacities, improving in the right upper and left lower lobes but stable to mildly increased in the right lower lobe which could reflect drug reaction as previously stated. The ground-glass opacity especially in the rib lower lobe could be attributable to UIP and there has been mild worsening of interstitial lung disease. 3. Mild dilation of the main pulmonary artery measuring up to 3.2 cm suggestive of underlying pulmonary arterial hypertension. 4. Unchanged prominent mediastinal lymph nodes. 5. Splenomegaly. ___ Echo - No atrial septal defect is seen on color flow Doppler, but there is early appearance of agitated saline/microbubbles in the left atrium/ventricle at rest most consistent with an atrial septal defect or stretched patent foramen ovale (though a very proximal intrapulmonary shunt cannot be fully excluded). There is moderate symmetric left ventricular hypertrophy. The left ventricular cavity size is normal. Overall left ventricular systolic function is normal (LVEF = 70%). The right ventricular free wall is hypertrophied. The right ventricular cavity is moderately dilated with moderate global free wall hypokinesis. The number of aortic valve leaflets cannot be determined. The aortic valve leaflets are severely thickened/deformed. There is severe aortic valve stenosis (indexed aortic valve area = 0.5 cm2/m2 BSA). The mitral valve leaflets are mildly thickened. Mild (1+) mitral regurgitation is seen. Moderate [2+] tricuspid regurgitation is seen. There is moderate pulmonary artery systolic hypertension. There is no pericardial effusion. Compared with the prior study (images reviewed) of ___ aortic stenosis has progressed; bubble study suggests patent foramen ovale or small atrial septal defect.

Imaged portion of lung bases appear otherwise within normal limits except note mild bibasilar atelectasis. Imaged portion of heart and pericardium notable for coronary artery and aortic valvular calcifications. ABDOMEN: HEPATOBILIARY: Extensive thrombosis of the portal venous system, with thrombus involving the left, right anterior, and majority of right posterior portal venous system, as well as the main portal vein with extension to the proximal superior mesenteric vein, is unchanged in configuration compared to ___. The presence of multiple clips in the gallbladder fossa with associated streak artifact limits assessment of some segments. Some prominent vessels in the porta hepatis suggest that cavernous transformation is occurring. No discrete focal liver lesions are identified, noting the limitation of single phase post-contrast technique. There is no evidence of intrahepatic or extrahepatic biliary dilatation. The gallbladder is surgically absent. PANCREAS: The pancreas has normal attenuation throughout, without evidence of focal lesions or pancreatic ductal dilatation. Peripancreatic stranding is similar to that observed throughout the mesenteries and likely related third-spacing. SPLEEN: The spleen is enlarged, measuring 16.5 cm, unchanged. ADRENALS: The right and left adrenal glands are normal in size and shape. URINARY: The kidneys are of normal and symmetric size with normal nephrogram. 6 mm hypodensity, interpolar region of right kidney, is unchanged and consistent with a cyst. There is no perinephric abnormality. GASTROINTESTINAL: The stomach contains a NG tube. No evidence of bowel obstruction. Mild gastric wall thickening as well as thickening of the cecum and colon, likely relate to portal hypertensive changes. Colonic diverticulosis is present without evidence of focal inflammatory changes. The rectum contains a rectal tube. . The appendix is not visualized. Small to moderate ascites is increased. PELVIS: The urinary bladder and distal ureters are unremarkable. There is small ascites in the pelvis. A dropped clip is seen in the region adjacent to the uterine fundus.

Dear Ms. ___, It was a privilege to care for you at the ___ ___. You were admitted to the hospital for worsening confusion secondary to your underlying liver disease. You received five days of antibiotics to treat a potential infection in your belly called spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP). You will now take a new medication daily to prevent future infections called ciprofloxacin. During this hospitalization, you also had imaging of your liver, which showed that the previously known blood clot was stable in size. After discussion with your medical team, we decided to stop your medication warfarin because the risk of major bleeding outweighed the benefits. In summary, the major changes to medications are as follows: 1.) START ciprofloxacin 500mg daily 2.) STOP Warfarin (coumadin) 3.) STOP Tramadol, as this can lead to worsening confusion. 4.) STOP cyclobenzaprine, as this can interact with the ciprofloxacin you are taking. The cyclobenzaprine can also lead to increased confusion. Feel free to discuss these medication changes with your primary care physician. You will need to take the ciprofloxacin indefinitely unless told to stop by your liver doctor. This will help prevent further infections in your abdomen. When you are running out of your prescription for ciprofloxacin, please call your liver specialist for additional refills. Please also take your lactulose either THREE or FOUR times per day to ensure you are having ___ bowel movements per day. If you are having less than three bowel movements per day, you can take an additional dose of lactulose. Please continue all other medications as previously prescribed and follow up with all appointments. If you develop any of the danger signs listed below, please contact your doctors ___ to the emergency room immediately. We wish you all the best! Sincerely, Your ___ Team

Name: ___ Unit No: ___ Admission Date: ___ Discharge Date: ___ Date of Birth: ___ Sex: F Service: MEDICINE Allergies: Oxacillin / Iodine Attending: ___. Chief Complaint: Back pain Major Surgical or Invasive Procedure: None History of Present Illness: Ms. ___ is a ___ lady with ER(+) HER2(-) breast cancer which is metastatic to lung and medicastinal lymph nodes on Exemestane who presents with left back pain. She was seen in primary care clinic ___ (6 days ago) due to ___ days of left-sided pain. Per note, it is left-sided pain: "near a rib approximately in line with the posterior aspect of her external shoulder. It came on suddenly, felt like a knife cutting, and feels severe and deep. It does not radiate, and only bothers her when she ambulates. She also is unable to lay on her left side because of the pain unless she fully extends her legs. Does not worsen with inspiration, although with very deep breath she can feel the pain. Had a fall two months ago onto her back, no xray imaging obtained at that time, although she was noted to have a large flank hematoma that has since resolved. Otherwise, denies any recent trauma. No other symptoms: no SOB, chest pain, fever, chills, dysuria, hematuria, HA. She did have one episode." Rib x-ray was negative for fracture and CT chest did not reveal any etiology (though of note her RIGHT iliac bone seemed abnormal consistent with metastasis vs Paget's). She was given low-dose Oxycodone which did not help much, and then her regimen was changed to Vicodin with some effect. However the pain has been so bad that she cannot walk and can barely move at all so she came to the ED. In the ED, initial VS were: T98.2, BP 139/62, HR 77, RR 22, POx 98%RA. She was a difficult stick but basic electrolytes and LFTs were normal. UA normal with no blood. She did not receive any medications while in the ED. VS prior to transfer were: T 98.2, BP 154/84, HR 65, RR 18, POx 100%RA. On arrival to the floor, she feels OK. Prefers to lie on her left side because this helps her left back/flank pain. REVIEW OF SYSTEMS: (+) Per HPI. Also recently has been constipated but used bowel regimen and had a large bowel movement 3 days ago; none since then. (-) Denies chills, night sweats. Denies blurry vision, diplopia, loss of vision, photophobia. Denies headache, sinus tenderness, rhinorrhea or congestion. Denies chest pain or tightness, palpitations, lower extremity edema. Denies cough, shortness of breath, or wheezes. Denies nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, melena, hematemesis, hematochezia. Denies dysuria, stool or urine incontinence. Denies arthralgias or myalgias. Denies rashes or skin breakdown. No numbness/tingling in extremities. All other systems negative. Past Medical History: PAST ONCOLOGIC HISTORY: [per OMR, confirmed with patient] - History of bilateral breast cancers age ___ initially treated at ___. Per review of Dr. ___: "She underwent bilateral mastectomies and on the left, she has stage III lymph node positive, ER positive disease. She completed axillary lymph node dissection followed by chemotherapy and adjuvant radiation therapy. She was then treated with tamoxifen for a total of ___ years. On the right, the patient reportedly had what she describes as "microscopic cancer." She is unaware of any lymph node evaluation on that side. She did not undergo any form of radiation therapy on the right side. The estrogen receptor status of the disease on the right is unknown to the patient." - In ___ she developed dry cough and ultimately underwent chest CT in ___ significant for left lower lung nodules and left hilar/subcarinal LAD. - ___ PET/CT with FDG avid mediastinal, hilar adenopathy and pulmonary nodules. A soft tissue attenuating area was also seen in a left renal mass measuring 3.5 cm in largest diameter with mild FDG avidity.

Dear Ms. ___, It was a pleasure participating in your care at ___. You were admitted to the hospital because you were having pain on your left side near your back. You had a CT scan and a rib x-ray as an outpatient which did not show any reasons for this pain. In the hospital you also had an ultrasound and a bone scan, neither of which showed any abnormalities to be causing your pain. While we don't know exactly what was causing your pain, the good news is that your cancer has not spread to involve your bones and we did not find anything serious that may be causing your pain. You were receiving pain medication in the hospital, and we will give you oral pain medication to take at home. We also did not give you your Exemestane while you were in the hospital because we thought initially that it may be contributing to your pain, but you should restart the Exemestane again when you get back home. You should follow up with your primary care doctor Dr. ___ appointment below), and you will also have a follow up appointment with Dr. ___. If you notice you are having hives again, please take a benadryl. If you are having symptoms feeling like your throat is tightening up, you should call ___ and come to the Emergency Room.

FINDINGS: PA and lateral views of the chest were obtained. The lungs are hyperlucent with widened AP diameter of the chest, suggesting underlying COPD. There is a large retrocardiac opacity which is slightly increased in size compared with the prior study and likely represents a large hiatal hernia. There is no focal consolidation, effusion, or pneumothorax. No signs of CHF. Heart size appears stable. Mediastinal contour reflects an unfolded thoracic aorta. Bony structures are intact though demineralized. IMPRESSION: No pneumonia or CHF. Large hiatal hernia. COPD. Radiology Report INDICATION: New right-sided lower extremity weakness and facial droop. TECHNIQUE: Multidetector CT scan of the head was obtained without the administration of contrast. Coronal and sagittal reformations were prepared. COMPARISON: CT examination dated ___. FINDINGS: There is no CT evidence of acute hemorrhage, edema, mass effect or major vascular territory infarction. No significant change from the prior examination is seen. Diffuse prominence of the ventricles and sulci is consistent with global atrophy, unchanged. The configuration of the ventricles is stable from the exam of ___. A focal area of encephalomalacia in the left occipital lobe is consistent with a prior infarction, also unchanged. Areas of periventricular white matter hypodensity may reflect sequelae of chronic small vessel ischemic disease. There are calcifications of the carotid siphons. No concerning osseous lesion is seen. The visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are clear. IMPRESSION: 1. No CT evidence of acute hemorrhage or major vascular territory infarction. Please note, MRI is more sensitive for acute ischemia, if indicated. 2. Global atrophy and remote occipital infarct, not significantly changed from the prior examination. ATTENDING NOTE: Ventriculomegaly, of proportion to the prominent cerebral sulci. Normal Pressure hydrocephalus can be considered, in the appropriate clinical setting. Radiology Report EXAM: MRI brain. CLINICAL INFORMATION: TIA, question of stroke. Patient with mental status changes, dysphagia, and dysarthria. TECHNIQUE: T1 sagittal and FLAIR, T2 susceptibility and diffusion axial images of the brain were acquired. Comparison was made with the MRI examination of ___. FINDINGS: There is ventriculomegaly identified out of proportion for sulci, with prominence of sulci as well seen. Periventricular hyperintensities are identified. An area of encephalomalacia is seen in the left occipital lobe. Small areas of chronic microhemorrhage is seen in the left cerebellum and right temporal region. The ventriculomegaly has not significantly changed from prior study. No acute infarct is seen. IMPRESSION: No acute infarct seen.

Dear Ms. ___, You were hospitalized due to symptoms of right facial droop and speech changes resulting from possibly a Transient Ischemic Attack, a condition in which a blood vessel providing oxygen and nutrients to the brain is blocked temporarily. The brain is the part of your body that controls and directs all the other parts of your body, so damage to the brain from being deprived of its blood supply can result in a variety of symptoms. Your risk factors for this is your hypertension and your diabetes. We are increasing your Aspirin from 81mg to 325mg. Please take your other medications as prescribed. Please followup with Neurology and your primary care physician. If you experience any of the symptoms below, please seek emergency medical attention by calling Emergency Medical Services (dialing 911). In particular, since stroke can recur, please pay attention to the sudden onset and persistence of these symptoms: - sudden partial or complete loss of vision - sudden loss of the ability to speak words from your mouth - sudden loss of the ability to understand others speaking to you - sudden weakness of one side of the body - sudden drooping of one side of the face - sudden loss of sensation of one side of the body - sudden difficulty pronouncing words (slurring of speech) - sudden blurring or doubling of vision - sudden onset of vertigo (sensation of your environment spinning around you) - sudden clumsiness of the arm and leg on one side or sudden tendency to fall to one side (left or right) - sudden severe headache accompanied by the inability to stay awake It was a pleasure providing you with care during this hospitalization.

History is obtained from the patient's daughter, as the patient has difficulty speaking from her h/o L sided stroke. For the last week, the patient has been complaining of difficulty urinating. She endorses a desire to urinate but then cannot make any urine. During this time she has also endorsed lack of appetite and has not eaten or drank her usual amount. Then the day of presentation, the patient woke up screaming in pain on the left side of her body. Per her family, the pain is usually on the right side due to contractures from her stroke and her recent R hip fracture, so this was unusual. In addition to the pain, she also appeared to be sleepier than usual and less responsive. Per the family, when she had her stroke many years ago, she had a similar presentation, so they were concerned and brought her to the ED. In the ED, her VS were notable for HTN 194/74 which improved to 140s systolic. Other VSS. Exam notable for baseline R hemiplegia and facial droop. Labs showed wBC 14, ___ with Cr 1.5 from baseline normal, negative UA, negative NCHCT and CXR. She complained of having an urge to urinate but difficulty voiding. A foley was placed for urinary retention with good output. Upon arrival to the floor, the patient is sleepy. The patient is able to follow commands and answer yes or no questions. She endorses difficulty urinating but no dysuria. She endorses R sided leg pain when asked but otherwise no complaints. No cough, chest pain, SOB, abd pain, n/v/d. ROS: As per HPI.

COMPARISON: None. FINDINGS: The liver demonstrates normal, homogeneous echotexture without focal intrahepatic lesion seen. There is questionable mild intrahepatic biliary dilatation in the left lobe of the liver. The common bile duct is normal in caliber, measuring 0.4 cm in diameter. The gallbladder contains sludge/stone. There is mild gallbladder wall edema. There is no pericholecystic fluid. Sonographic ___ sign was absent. The main portal vein is patent with hepatopetal flow. No pancreatic ductal dilatation is seen. While dedicated imaging of the right kidney was not performed, there is no evidence of right-sided hydronephrosis. IMPRESSION: Gallbladder stone/sludge and mild gallbladder wall edema. No pericholecystic fluid. Negative sonographic ___ sign. Acute cholecystitis is not excluded in the appropriate clinical setting. Questionable intrahepatic biliary dilatation in the left lobe of the liver versus artifact. Correlate with recent prior imaging and with LFTs. Consider MRCP if clinically warranted. Radiology Report HISTORY: Cholelithiasis. Assess for intra/extrahepatic biliary ductal dilatation. COMPARISON: Ultrasound dated ___. TECHNIQUE: Multiplanar T1 and T2 weighted images were acquired on a 1.5 Tesla magnet including dynamic 3D imaging obtained prior to, during and after the uneventful intravenous administration of 7 mL of Gadavist. The patient also received 2.5 mL of Gadavist diluted with 75 mL of water P.O. FINDINGS: The gallbladder wall is thickened and there is pericholecystic fat stranding (3:9). Post-contrast, the gallbladder wall demonstrates hyperenhancement (1102:76). On the delayed phase, there appears to be a small defect/irregularity within the medial aspect of the wall of the body of the gallbladder (1103:81) which leads into a small tract in the pericholecystic fat (1103:82-85). This likely represent a small localized/contained perforation without evidence of associated abscess formation. There is layered nonenhancing sludge with tiny gallstones noted within the gallbladder (4:21). No intra or extrahepatic duct dilatation. No filling defects within the biliary tree. There is arterial phase enhancement surrounding the gallbladder within the gallbladder fossa of the liver (1101:68). Multiple subcentimeter T2 hyperintense cystic lesions are noted within both lobes of the liver and likely represent biliary hamartomas. The portal and hepatic veins are patent. The hepatic artery is patent with conventional hepatic arterial anatomy. The pancreas is within normal limits. Note is made of pancreas divisum. The pancreatic duct is of normal caliber. There are subcentimeter T2 hyperintense cystic lesions within both kidneys which do not enhance and are consistent with simple cysts. The kidneys are otherwise unremarkable. The adrenals and spleen are within normal limits. Colonic diverticulosis is noted. The visualized small and large bowel is otherwise unremarkable. No retroperitoneal or mesenteric adenopathy. Linear atelectasis is noted within both lung bases. There is a chronic anterior wedge compression fracture at L1 with approximately 50% loss of vertebral body height (1:9). No destructive osseous lesions. IMPRESSION: 1. Acute cholecystitis with a probable small localized & contained perforation of the gallbladder. No associated abscess. 2. No intra or extrahepatic duct dilatation. No stones within the common bile duct. 3. Pancreas divisum. 4. Colonic diverticulosis. 5. Chronic anterior wedge compression fracture at L1. Verbal report issued to surgical team [Dr. ___ (pager ___ at time of discovery at 9.55, ___. Dr ___, Body MRI fellow. Radiology Report TYPE OF EXAMINATION: Chest PA and lateral. INDICATION: ___ female patient with fever and leukocytosis. Post-operative day 5 from laparotomy converted to open cholecystectomy, evaluate for consolidation. FINDINGS: PA and lateral chest views were obtained with patient in upright position. Analysis is performed in direct comparison with the next preceding available chest examination ___. High-positioned diaphragms indicate poor inspirational effort probably related to patient's post-operative status. Heart size has not changed significantly and there is no evidence of pulmonary vascular congestion. There exist bilateral linear appearing densities on the lung bases mostly occupying the posterior depending lung segments indicative of poor inspirational mechanics and bilateral atelectasis. There is no significant amount of pleural effusion as the posterior pleural sinuses are free on the lateral view. In the lung mid fields and the upper portions, there is no evidence of any acute pulmonary parenchymal infiltrate and no pneumothorax is identified in the apical area on the frontal view. When comparison is made with the previous examination of ___, the patient had already at that time minor basal atelectasis. These changes have increased dramatically and are most likely the result of poor post-operative breathing dynamics. Parenchymal densities typical for post-operative aspiration pneumonias or inflammatory processes cannot be identified on this PA and lateral chest examination. Radiology Report HISTORY: Status post open cholecystectomy; biliary leak ; collection/biloma was questioned. TECHNIQUE: Multiple grayscale and Doppler images of the right upper quadrant were obtained with a multifrequency probe in portable setting. COMPARISON: Prior ultrasound pre-surgery, dated ___ and MRI dated ___. FINDINGS: There is a small collection in the gallbladder fossa, adjacent to the tip of the JP drain measuring approximately 3 cm with internal foci of gas. The liver otherwise demonstrates no evidence of focal lesions or intrahepatic biliary dilatation. Common bile duct is normal in caliber, measuring 3 mm. There is no intrahepatic biliary dilatation. Main portal vein is patent demonstrates hepatopetal flow. Spleen measures 10 cm and contains small granulomas. There is small amount of dependent fluid in the lower pelvis anterior to the urinary bladder. IMPRESSION: Status post cholecystectomy with a small amount of fluid collection, roughly 3 cm at the gallbladder fossa, adjacent to the distal tip of the surgical drain which contains foci of gas. There is no biliary obstruction. Radiology Report CT ABDOMEN AND PELVIS WITH CONTRAST COMPARISON: Liver ultrasound from ___ and MRCP from ___. Chest radiograph from ___. The lung bases demonstrate bibasilar subsegmental atelectasis. The heart is prominent without pericardial effusion. The liver is normal in size. Pneumobilia is noted with a stent in place. Status post cholecystectomy with Surgicel material and mild amount of post-operative fluid noted. JP catheter courses out of the right flank from the subhepatic region. Expected pneumobilia in the left hepatic lobe. Spleen, pancreas, and bilateral adrenal glands are normal. Both kidneys demonstrate symmetric enhancement. Tiny hypodense foci within both kidneys are too small to characterize. Few calcified granulomas are noted within the spleen. The pancreas is otherwise normal. The bowel is normal. CT PELVIS: Urinary bladder is well distended without wall thickening. Uterus is grossly normal. However, the adnexa are not well seen. There is a mild amount of presacral fluid noted with high-attenuation material within the fluid, which may represent blood product. Underlying adnexal enlargement cannot be excluded. Pelvic ultrasound may be helpful for further evaluation. BONES: Degenerative disc disease in the lumbar spine. Superior endplate compression deformity is noted at the L1 vertebral body. Minimal retrolisthesis of L5 on S1. This was seen on ___ MRCP, but was not appreciated on the lateral radiograph from ___. IMPRESSION: 1. Post-surgical changes of cholecystectomy with Surgicel, post-operative fluid and JP drain in place. Expected pneumobilia with two common bile duct stents noted. 2. Nonspecific pelvic free fluid with mixed areas of high-attenuation areas, which could represent underlying adnexa vs mild blood product. The adnexa are not otherwise well seen. An underlying adnexal enlargement is not definitively excluded. Pelvic ultrasound may be helpful for further evaluation. 3. Few small hypodense lesions scattered throughout both kidneys may represent renal cysts; however, some are too small to characterize. 4. Superior endplate compression deformity of the L1 vertebral body is stable since ___, however, is new since ___.

You were admitted to the hospital with acute cholecystitis. In order to fully evaluate your liver, gallbladder and biliary tree, you underwent a liver/gallbladder U/S on ___, which showed gallbladder stone/sludge, as well as dilation of your biliary vessel in your liver. You then underwent a MRCP on the following day. That exam revealed an inflammed gallbladder with a small perforation. There were no stones observed in your ducts. You were taken to the operating room on ___ and had your gallbladder removed laparoscopically. You tolerated the procedure well. During the surgery, you had a drain placed in your abdomen to decrease any local accumulation of fluids. Because you had an intermittent, one-time fever and a slight rise in your white blood cell count, there was concern for another fluid collection. You underwent an abdominal ultrasound as well as a CT scan. Those results showed no other fluid accumulation other than where your drain was placed. Because the drain was hardly draining any fluid, it was removed. Any small amount of fluid remaining in that location will be reabsorbed by your body. You are now being discharged home to continue your recovery with the following instructions: Please follow up in the Acute Care Surgery clinic at the appointment listed below. At that time, you will have your surgical staples removed. ACTIVITY: o Do not drive until you have stopped taking pain medicine and feel you could respond in an emergency. o You may climb stairs. o You may go outside, but avoid traveling long distances until you see your surgeon at your next visit. o Don't lift more than ___ lbs for 4 weeks. (This is about the weight of a briefcase or a bag of groceries.) This applies to lifting children, but they may sit on your lap. o You may start some light exercise when you feel comfortable. o You will need to stay out of bathtubs or swimming pools for a time while your incision is healing. Ask your doctor when you can resume tub baths or swimming. HOW YOU MAY FEEL: o You may feel weak or "washed out" for a couple of weeks. You might want to nap often. Simple tasks may exhaust you. o You may have a sore throat because of a tube that was in your throat during surgery. o You might have trouble concentrating or difficulty sleeping. You might feel somewhat depressed. o You could have a poor appetite for a while. Food may seem unappealing. o All of these feelings and reactions are normal and should go away in a short time. If they do not, tell your surgeon. YOUR INCISION: o Do not remove steri-strips for at least 2 weeks after your surgery. (These are the thin paper strips that might be on your incision.) But if they fall off before that that's okay). o Your incisions may be slightly red around the stitches. This is normal. o You may gently wash away dried material around your incision. o Avoid direct sun exposure to the incision area. o Do not use any ointments on the incision unless you were told otherwise. o You may see a small amount of clear or light red fluid staining your dressing or clothes. If the staining is severe, please call your surgeon. o You may shower. As noted above, ask your doctor when you may resume tub baths or swimming. YOUR BOWELS: o Constipation is a common side effect of narcotic pain medications. If needed, you may take a stool softener (such as Colace, one capsule) or gentle laxative (such as milk of magnesia, 1 tbs) twice a day. You can get both of these medicines without a prescription. o If you go 48 hours without a bowel movement, or have pain moving the bowels, call your surgeon. PAIN MANAGEMENT: o It is normal to feel some discomfort/pain following abdominal surgery. This pain is often described as "soreness". o Your pain should get better day by day. If you find the pain is getting worse instead of better, please contact your surgeon. o You will receive a prescription for pain medicine to take by mouth. It is important to take this medicine as directed. o Do not take it more frequently than prescribed. Do not take more medicine at one time than prescribed. o Your pain medicine will work better if you take it before your pain gets too severe. o Talk with your surgeon about how long you will need to take prescription pain medicine. Please don't take any other pain medicine, including non-prescription pain medicine, unless your surgeon has said its okay. o If you are experiencing no pain, it is okay to skip a dose of pain medicine. o Remember to use your "cough pillow" for splinting when you cough or when you are doing your deep breathing exercises. If you experience any of the following, please contact your surgeon: - sharp pain or any severe pain that lasts several hours - pain that is getting worse over time - pain accompanied by fever of more than 101 - a drastic change in nature or quality of your pain MEDICATIONS: Take all the medicines you were on before the operation just as you did before, unless you have been told differently. If you have any questions about what medicine to take or not to take, please call your surgeon.
