Today the drains came out. Yay!! Ouch!!
Since surgery, I have had two long tubes coming out of the
side of my body to drain fluids from the operation. The liquid would be deposited in two plastic,
grenade-looking bottles. These
were emptied twice a day. One has
to be mindful not to accidentally tug on the tubes since they were stitched
into my body, or lay on top of the grenades.
Now, with any foreign object stuck in your body it isn’t fun
having said object removed. There
are still some parts of the surgical area that are a bit numb. One of the tubes removed from that
area, barely felt anything. The
other tube however was in a much more sensitive area and wasn’t very pleasant
to have it removed. Can’t really
describe it other than a really, really, really hard pinch.
On our way home, we stopped at the local burger joint for
some lunch. This was my first
outing in public place, other than yesterday’s doctor appointment. It was an early lunch so the restaurant
was not very crowded at first.
Towards the end of the meal, the place filled up and it got noisy. I was feeling tired and was ready to
leave.
The four-hour excursion to doctor and then lunch resulted in
four-hour nap.
