Drains.... Breast Reduction.... Need Answers...
Leaving in a few for the ride to Baton Rouge (2 hours away) to have the drains removed. How bad is the drain removal? Please... be honest. I have had two drains from other surgeries and they were HELL coming out. This is the first day I have felt like getting on OH but now I wish I would have made myself do it yesterday!!! URGH!
Ohhh and I kept feeling something sticking me... my husband looked... and I have about 100 staples that are holding me together. CROCKY!!! Those mugs have to come out soon too. I am not looking forward to that either!! I have never had staples... do they hurt as bad as sutures coming out? As you can see... I am NOT a fan of pain!!
The surgery itself... has been almost pain free. I say that with all sincerity! I am shocked. The drains and the staples are the source of my pain.
Thanks in advance....

Also-- none of my stitches need to be removed-- any external ones will dissolve.
