The drains were a pain in the shower. I was mardi gras bead queen (and that was before I used them to hang my drains from!! LOL!) and I even used a robe sash to hang them from. I had all kinds of things rigged up. Definitely a pain.

Oh, the pits. And shaving the legs. That was like Christmas the first time I got to shave my legs. I remember the hairs on my legs started getting sore from being pressed down by the support hose! Gnarly.

Ahh, the memories!! LOL!

Yeah it's funny, my nurse was saying that she is amazed at how resourceful us surgery peeps are.

Witht the hole I'm nursing I got tired of gauze and tape so I just use maxi pads and it covers the packed hole and stays in place on the binder without tearing the crap out of my skin like the tape did.

I have to say thought that at every visit they load me up with packing gauze, tape, antibiotic creams, compression sleeves and new binders. Oh I know I paid for it but it's still nice.. plus he's not going to charge me his fee when he does my revisions.

I finally ditched all the carbs I was eating.. One thing is for sure.. I never had a low appetite or trouble with my bowels!
