Went in for a check up on infected drain site today. Results: no more drains! My body was trying to split open and push the drains out.  SO, surgeon said since I'm at 15cc's of fluid on a pretty active day that he's rather take them out and see me for aspirations if necessary than to have un-needed wounds from rejected medical 'stuff'.  

It feels odd not having to hide anything to be honest! I felt like I traded the big belly flap for two clear and large testicles! (sorry but its what it felt like LOL)  Now, I dont have a belly to hide and I dont have to hide drains...Never thought 'normal' would feel so odd haha!

It was a beautiful day when I got my drains removed.  Yes, they felt like 2 big (a little painful) testicles. Hilarious, but that is what I called them too......I was never so happy than to see the GO AWAY.  Glad that you got yours out.  I know that you feel terrific.

I had my drains taken out yesterday after 10 days. So happy. Felt better all day but had a bad night tried to sleep in my bed and in the middle of the night had to head back to my faithful couch. Did you go through the same. I don't want to be sleeping on my couch forever.
