He was right to have you call. It’s important, especially with your preferred time for the surgery coming up. I hope everything will turn out okay... just a little lotion, you know... :hug:

Donna,

Make the phone call.
It is best for you and your husband.

:grouphug:I went to the surgeon today. They drained over 400 ml or cc. Not sure which they say. But I also had a drain put back in. Because he wants to make
sure it keeps draining. And just going back isn't going to work as well.

I go back Friday if I think they might be able to take drain out. If not it
will be next Wednesday or THursday.

Because I'll be gone earlier for our conference.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

I am sorry for this complication.
((((((HUGS)))))

I'm so sorry Donna...
I know the last thing you probably wanted was another drain put in :hug::hug::hug:

I'm so glad that Dale had you call! :hug:
I hope you can get it out earlier vs. later :hug::hug::hug:

I somewhat am not surprised with the drain. Other than it hurts more
than I remember last time. I did create this myself.

I think hopefully it will keep it from coming back more often.

I also believe the antibiotic is helping a lot. The itchy ness and
lots of the redness is gone.

Donna :hug::grouphug:

I'm so glad that the antibiotic seems to be helping :hug:

How do you think that you created the problem with the drain and/or infection on your own, Donna?

By not going in when I first started wondering or worrying about
the size it was becoming. I knew that it wasn't supposed to
look llike I grew another breast. I just wasn't sure they could
do anything. So I should have at least called and asked.

I just thought it would be okay.

Donna :grouphug::hug:

I can understand that reasoning Donna :hug::hug::hug:
And I would also want to avoid dealing with it.

It's not your fault. You likely would have had to have the drain put in anyway... your condition is probably just a little worse :hug:

:hug:I really love this surgeon. Heehee,

Somehow his appts. today got cancelled. And he wanted to know how
I found out it was rescheduled.

Anyway, then he debated whether to take the drain out or leave it
the weekend. I reminded him that if he did that it would be Wednesday
before it could come out. He wasn't sure he wanted me to have to
go to our companies IN-Service and have to wear it.

So he decided after debate to take it out. It looks and had some liquid.
His words to me were that if I had to come back and needed something
that I would probably have to have drain put back in.

Which will be okay.

Donna :grouphug:
