Went for 10 day post op appt today, he removed all 4 drains.  I'm hardly swelling at all & the drains were only putting out 14-20 all weekend!!!  Yes!!  Not to have those pesky things is great!

 Good for you!  I have my appointment tomorrow where I'm sure I'll get rid of these last two.  They've barely putting anything out, but they are driving me crazy.

im glad you are doing so well.   I am a month out today,  and the recovery has been harder then i expected!!!!   Both Physical AND mental.  it's hard to upbeat when your body is trying to heal from such trauma.  I have good days and bad.  Yesterday was my first day back at work, my boss is letting me work part time until I feel up to it, so I'm grateful for that..Still,  I guess I just expected to feel much better by now!

Also,  Im very swollen, so,  that can be a challenge to feel good about all the suffering you deal with, and then you don't see the result you hoped or expected....ugh!  I need to learn some patience!
