Maybe a silly question about drainage, but...

I am now 7 days post-op, and only empty about 1/2 oz. fluid from tube daily. It will be removed on Friday. So, my question is this...what will happen to these tiny amounts of fluid when removed? Will my body just re-absorb them, or discharge them in another manner? Thanks!
