Serenity and Grace

So, my surgery was on Tuesday. YEAH!!!! And on Thursday I was released to go home. I had emptied my drain around 6 pm and there wasn't much there. However this morning around 4:30 there was a lot more. I'm not sure if that's normal or something to have checked. Do you know how often you're supposed to empty the drain? I thought it was 2 times a day - but maybe it's supposed to be more often? Any help on the subject would be greatly appreciated!

Has anyone utilized that service to be a self-pay? I was wondering what rates you may have seen or how long it takes to go through the process. Any good or bad feedback you could provide is helpful!
