no longer at goal

well i have changed my goal again, this time to 154. that will put me at a normal bmi, just barely.  since my plastic surgery i have actually put on weight. i figure about 10 pounds.  i have no idea i weigh now, my scales say 156, but i am so swollen i bet i have at least 10 pounds of fluid on me.  so if, and a big if, i lose 10 pounds i will be below my goal weight by 8 pounds and should weigh in at 146. yeah!!!! that would put me below target weight and well within normal bmi.  if my no. 2 drain doesn't quit bleeding, my husband is afraid they will have to go back in and fix a bleeder.  i don't really want to think about it.  wish me luck.  hope u all had a great day. you are a "groovey" bunch of characters. wow, showing my age now. lol  good night. vick

Will keep you in my heart and prayers with #2 and the weight loss. Maybe you should call your doc and check in on that drain. You shouldn't be having much bright red blood draining. That could be causing some of the weight, if things are not draining right, or if you have a bleeder. Keep tabs on your temperature and make sure you are not running a fever. (sign of infection, as I am sure you know). I really think a call to your doc is in order tho.
Hugs and love. Take care please!

patrece, once again, thanks so much for your friendshiip and support.  the blood is really a dark redish purpleish color. drained it again tonight and got 30 cc. i drain it every twelve hours and  i have been getting 25-30 cc each time  since day one  i am supposed to call him tuesday so i figured i would wait until then. i haven't been taking my temp since i've been home, but didn't have any before. i don't feel like i am running a temp. i will take tonight to be on the safe side.  how have u been doing lady?  are u staying out of trouble, or is that just impossible for you. lol  my husband has been great during all this, even though i had to remind him about 4 times to do the dishes over the last two days.  his heart is in the right place though.   vick

Hi Vick, hope the drain slows down, the good news is that as long as it is draining, the bad stuff is getting out.  Waiting to hear what your doc says on Tues.

My hubby too needs reminding to carry the laundry and clean up after himself in the kitchen.  They just don't see the same things we see.

Hugs, Kathy

Your welcome Vick! :) Please let me know what happens with it. I worry about all of you folks. You are my extended family and I care deeply about you guys!
