I am finally drainage tube free as of 10:00 am today!
I am so excited. After awhile, the tubes begin to irritate your skin. I have had some bad nights this past week, which I am hoping is from the drainage tubes. I got my chest drainage tube out and a 50 cc fill Wednesday, but the pain still remained. I think most of the irritation was caused by the back drain. I have had 8 tubes in the past 1.5+ years and the back one being removed was the weirdest sensation...can't really explain it. I am most excited about being able to wear normal clothes and not worry about hiding the tubes!! Slowly but surely I am getting there. I go back for another fill on Wednesday and return to work Thursday...I am a little nervous considering how tired and sore I still am...but I have to push through!!
I just keep telling myself...
"you are almost there...you are almost there...slow and steady wins the race."
Have a Blessed and Happy New Year everyone!
