reconstruction

[Guest guest]

I was wondering if anyone here could help me. I had a mastectomy last

April with tram flap reconstruction but that didn't take. so now I am

going to have an implant put in. Two weeks ago Wed. I had the

expander put in. I have had the drain since then. I had three drains

when I had the mastectomy and had no trouble with them. The drain I

have now is on the side and the last two days it has been killing me.

I went to the surgeon on Monday and he was hoping that he could take

the drain out but it is still draining. He put me on antibiotics in

case it is infected and he gave me a cream to num the area. I am

taking percocets and I just have to stay still for it not to really

bother me. The cream is halping though. I was wondering if anyone

else had any problems like this. And if anyone can let me know how it

is when he starts to expand which he hopes to start maybe next week.

Everyone here had been so helpful before. Donna
