Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 Today is my big day!! I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers. I didn't sleep well because my joints ached real bad. My body sure misses my magnetic mattress pad. I had plenty of time to think of all you wonderful ladies during the night. If your up to reading this...a, I have been thinking of you and wonder how you are doing. I looked forward to hearing how you are. Good luck Liz on your appointment with Dr.Kolb today. I am so excited that you are getting this chance to see her. Donna, my heart is still aching for you, I hope you find a doctor soon, so you can be released from all this anxiety. You don't deserve this. Sis, Patty, Cherie, Rogene, Lea, (I hope I didn't forget anyone) I have been so encouraged and felt so supported by you all. Thank You!! I hope you all have a wonderful blessed Friday and weekend for that matter. Your friend, Quote
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 - my thoughts are with you today. I think you may have asked me how long I stayed in Ohio after explant. I actually stayed for 5 days - I had surgery on Monday, and I went home on Friday. The output from the drains was rather high, so I couldn't leave until the output was an acceptable level. Some people are able to leave after 2 or 3 days, but it depends on how much fluid comes out of the drains. I'm glad I had the drains, all that junk would have been floating around in my body and I would have had swelling. I think the reason why I had minimal pain was because I had very little swelling.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Posted February 3, 2006 I have been praying for you! I know that everything is going to go fine. I did great after my explant. In fact, the next day my husband and I drove for a couple of hours and went to niagra falls!( we went to dr. feng in ohio). I sailed through the surgery and no pain, nothing! The only down side was not being better prepared for how flat and squished I looked after my breasts had been compressed for eleven years! Since you have wi-fi be sure to let us know how you are. love, kathy > > Today is my big day!! > > I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their thoughts and > prayers.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2006 Report Posted February 4, 2006 Sis, You hit the nail on the head when when you describe the benefit of having drains . . . I can't begin to tell you the expense/stress/pain some women have undergone because their doctor DIDN'T use drains! Hugs, Rogene Quote
