What do you do with your drainage bag when you shower? I am afraid to let it dangle.

I had mine on for about a week. It SUCKED when they yanked the booger out! They did it fast like a band aid... Omg. If anyone wants to see a pic of a drain. With drainage fluid, I might be able to provide one... Lol.

Once it's out- you feel SO much better! At least all if us did in our group if about 8 of us!

I had mine for 8 days. My doctor's office provided me with a lanyard to hang around my neck and the tubing from the drain was looped through that. It kept the drain from pulling anywhere and I tucked the bulb into my bra while dressed to hide it. It was a pain to deal with, but it didn't hurt.

OMG.. a lanyard is genius! I thought that the little drain bag had to be lower than the opening in the skin.

I never heard that the drain bag had to be lower than the opening. I don't believe it works on gravity, but on suction, which is why you have to squeeze the air out of it when you drain the bulb. Mine worked fine, whatever the science behind it.

Great advice, ty!
