Name written on this phone's entries so a wrong entry can be traced to the device that wrote it

Do this once on every phone and tablet that opens this page: type whose device it is — “Mom's phone”, “Ming's phone”, “nightstand iPad”. Every entry is signed by the device that wrote it, so a wrong entry can never be anonymous again. This box is per-device and needs no unlocking; rows written before a device was named say “an unnamed device”.

Doctor's instructions, verbatim

Right hand · tenolysis & contracture release · surgery Fri 28 Aug 2026, 7:15 am · Dr. Edward Wu

"Take 1–2 tablets of extra strength Tylenol 500 mg every 6 hours. Next dose due at 12:30pm. Also take Aleve 220 mg (1 tab) morning and night."

"If you are taking other Tylenol containing medicines at home, be sure NOT to exceed 4 gram's (4000 milligrams) of Tylenol per day."

"Take on a schedule basis until you haven't needed the narcotic/opioid for 24 hours. Wake yourself up out of sleep when due for a dose. Once you have gone 24 hours without a narcotic/opioid, you can then start to taper down on this medication."

oxyCODONE 5 mg — "Take 0.5–1 tablets (2.5–5 mg) by mouth every 6 hours as needed for severe pain." Signed by Edward Wu.

Ondansetron 4 mg — "Take one tablet by mouth every 8 hours as needed for nausea." Qty 20.

08/31 post-op visit (S. Ehresmann PA-C): ketorolac (TORADOL) 10 mg — "Take 1 tablet (10 mg) by mouth every 6 hours as needed for moderate pain." Qty 20. "We will trial 5-day course of oral Toradol. Discontinue Aleve, do not take any other NSAIDs at the same time as Toradol. Normal creatinine on laboratory study today."

08/31: hydrOXYzine (ATARAX) 25 mg — "Take 1 tablet (25 mg) by mouth nightly as needed for itching." Qty 15. "Can also trial hydroxyzine at bedtime for pain." Oxycodone ended 08/31 (did not tolerate). Follow-up Wed Sep 2, 1:30 pm.

The printed sheet said ibuprofen; it was crossed out by hand and replaced with Aleve. The 2400 mg limit belongs to the ibuprofen line, so it no longer applies. The Tylenol ceiling is 4000 mg a day.

Dr. Wu's office / after hours
not yet on file — add from the packet—

Call rather than waiting for:

Nausea and vomiting — the discharge sheet says call, and Mom has a history of pain medication making her sick
Fingers going white, blue, dusky or cold; a dressing or splint that feels tight
Pain getting worse rather than better after the first two days, or pain you cannot get on top of
Fever, spreading redness, or drainage
No bowel movement by day three

Additional instructions

Colace (docusate) is instructed, not optional — "be sure to take Colace as well to prevent constipation."
Aleve is retired as of Sep 14. Ibuprofen starts Sep 15 and is offered every 6 hours with Tylenol. Never overlap ibuprofen with Aleve, ketorolac, or another NSAID.
Check every other bottle in the house for acetaminophen — NyQuil, Tylenol PM, Excedrin, most cold remedies. They all count toward the same 4000.
Lifting limit: about a 1 lb coffee cup with that hand. Nothing heavier.
No driving while Mom is taking oxycodone.
Keep the schedule going until Mom has gone 24 h with no oxycodone — then start tapering.
