Nat I need your help

Hi Nat Do you have any suggestions for me with these drains..I have some leakage where they come out of the skin ..i can't keep tape on the bandages because it gets wet...I was wondering if maybe I could put some panties on and use a maxi pad?  Any advice for me..you and i had the same type of cut..I have the inverted T as well.  By the way, are you feeling better? hugs

Hey Sweety , What you need to do is get some heavier bandages . Take the bandage and cut a slit in it . Wrap it around the drain opening . Where the stiches are . Make sure to put some Neopsporin on it as well .  Do you have a binder on ? This should apply enough pressure on the site . I would also try wearing some panties over it . I know it is trysome ... I have had mine in for 3 weeks .. and I am so over changing these bandages ...  Feeling better ?? Yes , it is hard Judy ... I still feel like I have been hit by a mack truck ... but it gets better each day .  If you need to talk you can call me .. email me and  I will send you my number .  Take care ,  Nat

And this is why I love this board! Ask for help and you get it. I am so proud to call you all my friends. Jen
