Antibiotics?: Missing one dosage shouldn't be a problem, as long as you continue with the rest as prescribed. If it's been less than half of the time between each of your prescribed doses, take one now. If it's been more, just take your next one on time.

Schedule: Get back on regular schedule. If 4/day, that means 1every 6 hours. If not sure, call treating Surgeon.
