for the first few days it was fine now since thursday pm i've been having leakage from the incision/insert cite, you know where the tube goes into my body. i did tell the dr. on friday am when they called me but they said it's ok if no fever, no odor, incision cite isn't red or sore looking. which it is not. is this alright? it's only saturday so im worried about waitiing out the weekend?

I had the same thing. my drain was in for 10 days. You have sterile pads taped around it right? Change it daily. The doctor office sounds like they are right. Nothing to worry unless it gets red, stinks and if you get a fever.

Totally normal!

Yes it's fine. Your doc's office is correct.

yeah i'm sure you guys are right. i just realized that i wasn't moving much on the days it wasn't leaking but i have been in and out of chairs, up and down stairs, walking and bending (as little as much) so yeah, its good.
