My thoughts are with you all. And all who knew Kara. Take care of yourself before you worry about helping others.

Teppy, TCG hurt his shoulder and can't get into his doctor right away. How much advil can he safely take daily for the next couple of weeks?

He can take 4 Advil at a time. At that dose, the recommended schedule is every 8 hours, but I'll be 100% honest, here: I've taken 4 Advil every 4 hours for pain, and I was fine. So maybe he could start out taking 4 every 8 hours, and if it wears off too soon, he could try every 6 hours, and then every 4 hours if need be.

I have him taking 3 every 6 hours which seems to be making a dent in the pain, but then he read the back of the bottle and got nervous. He hates taking pills. So, I just wanted to make sure it was okay. If I told him I verified with the "smart people"(his term for buffistas), he'll feel better about taking it. If 3 stops helping, I'll tell him he can bump it up to 4.

Tell him that 4 (which is 800 mg) is what he would be prescribed by a doctor. Seriously. It's not an unusual amount.

I did tell him that, but it wasn't his actual doctor telling me directly.

I took that dosage for weeks for my effed up shoulder, with no ill effects.
Happy to say that my shoulder is less effed! It's almost D'ed, in fact. Much better.
