Finally had all drain removed, well, that lasted for a whole week!My happenings of the last week -
My incision at the joint of my leg and body opened up a tiny bit and it started draining fluid. By the next morning the fluid was gushing out. It lasted a good 4 hours and then slowed down. Off to the Dr we go, and he checked it out. Finally he stuck something in it and decided it was too big to let go, my body had created a cavity that was just filling with fluid. There in his office he prepped me and opened me back up about 3 inches. It was weird, I some of it I felt, some I didn't. He numbed me a lot but I guess it was more the tugging, until he got to the stitches, seemed like I felt most of those!
This drain has been in since last Wed. and it's slowed down to less than 30 cc's a day now. I go back on Wed. to let him check it. He'll probably take out the stitches but who knows about the drain. It's in a very comfortable spot, on Saturday I wanted to scream all day long I was so miserable. That was the very worst day for me though.
DR also decided to place me on antibiotics longer. This past weekend I had an allergic reaction to the antibiotics and developed a full body rash. I stopped taking them and the Dr ordered a different kind. The rash is slowly going away.
Guess I'll just take it one day at a time for now. I do keep wondering if in a year from now I'll look back and think it was no biggy? HAHAHAHA I told my husband while we were waiting in the Dr's office last week, remind me of all this next time I say I want to have an elective surgery!
