A surprising Dr. Vist!!
So I went to see my Dr. today as I posted earlier and much to my surprise he pulled all 4 of my drains!! None of them had drained over 20cc's any day since surgery so he decided there was really no use in leaving them in. It wasn't nearly as painful as I expected it to be, but I watched as they came out...and that may have been a mistake...he pulled them out two at a time...so it was over quick but I was standing and for just a split second I thought my knees were going to buckle both times. But OMGosh...I feel SOOOOO much better now that they are out, it's amazing the difference it's made in how I feel and get around.. I'm even going to atempt to give up the pain meds...at least until bedtime. I had resigned myself to being stuck with the drains for at least 2-3 weeks so I really didn't let myself be too bothered by them and now they're already gone and I'm estatic!!
They also removed my staples and want to see me back in a week so that he can remove the stitches around my belly button. Overall a great appt! Thanks for listening!!
