Still Recovering

Well I have spent this week just laying around recovering. Mom has gone and visited some of her friends and some of the family but other than going to lunch with her and her friend, I have pretty much just stayed home. We did go to the doctor today and he took two of my drains out and that was such a relief. They have been the most painful part of this whole deal. I have to wear a belly band that keeps pressure on my back to keep any fluid from collecting around the wound and there were two drains coming out of my back and then one out of my new boob. The elastic of the belly band stretches so it pulls on the drains and makes them so so so sore. It was such a relief for him to get two of them out especially the one on my boob it was the worst. When he started to remove them I told him that I had taken a pain pill before I came so that I could stop myself from peeing my pants when he pulled the drains out. I mean they are under the skin about 6 inches so it is not fun for him to pull them out when that skin is so inflamed . Anyway he told me how much he appreciated me not peeing my pants HA So now I just have one and it's much better. He is suppose to take it out next Tuesday but I wonder. It was collecting about 45cc's of fluid when it had the back up drain there and now it's up to 80cc's so we will see. It has to be below 30cc's for two or three days before he will remove it and I can't see that happening by Tuesday. If he takes it out too soon then the fluid collects under the skin and they have to remove it with a syringe. I don't want that so I will be patient.
