Drain Tube Out, 1 week out

So, I went to get my drain tube out, but my heart was racing. The doc was a little worried so sent me to radiology, it was so hot in there I almost passed out. This was cause for more concern but about an hour later, I seemed to be fine. They are keeping a close eye on me this week, but otherwise they think I was just having heat stroke.

I finally got my drain tube pulled, and once he pulled it, Doc says 'All gone' but what I heard was 'Oh god" Never something you want to hear from your doc. He's wondering why I'm flipping out asking what's wrong before they told me 'no no he said ALL GONE' A sigh of relief, a ride home and now, it's time to head for a nap.

OH... 16 lbs lost in the first week, something I never thought I would say.

Oh my goodness....yup, that would make me a little nervous!!! Congrats on getting the drain out.  Dr. Houston doesn't typically do drains (I didn't have one)....but I bet it is wonderful to have it out!!! YAHOOOEY!  Micheala.
