JP Drain Hurting and Partially out. any suggestions?
I go tomorrow to my Surgeon to get my staples removed and the JP drain removed but this morning around 4am I pulled the cover over me when I did I didn't realize the plastic tube was in the cover i was pulling. Needless to say, I pulled hard enough, I ripped the stitch from my body and it hurt. I ended up pulling some of the drain out.
The home health nurse came by today took a picture and sent it to the doctor. He told her to pull it out, but her supervisor decided it best to let the doctor do it.
My question is has anyone ever done anything like this?
I have pain with it. I wish they would have pulled it. I'm tempted to have an "oops" moment and pull it myself but the way he described it its long.
