Good News: All drains have been removed.
Not so Good News: The last drain became infected so I am now on antibiotics for 2 weeks and have to watch for "fluid buildup". If there is fluid build up then they have to aspirate it with a needle and syringe. Looking forward to that!
Hey, but the cancer is gone, the drains are gone, the breast is gone oh wait I have a new one, it's healing into a nice shape. And I have to adjust to not wearing an underwire on that side. I get to wreck all my old bras on the right side. Destruction that is what I want to do now. Is this too much information for you? Hopefully not, as now I am feeling a bit cheeky and want to let off some steam. I am feeling not quite so tethered to myself and want to run or at least go for long walks but not yet, not until the site closes and we see no collection of fluid. The nurse said I would hear it! Can you imagine? Hearing fluid sloshing around in your own body.
What fun things to look forward to or not, I think the drain was just ready to come out and that there isn't going to be any buildup and I will be fine. Okay? Those are the rose colored glasses I am looking out of today.
Hugs, Deb
