Hey guys, this is about my 4th day post op and I just woke up kind of miserable. The drain as been bothering me since day one but its all I can do not to focus on it. the placement of the stitches pull no matter what I do, it hurts, and I'm becoming increasingly emotional about it. I only have till wednesday to deal with it, and I don't really want to bother the office because there are no signs of infection or anything like that, I'm just incomfortable with it. Does anyone know any tricks? Right now I have it tucked into something called a spibelt that goes under your shirt that looks like this picture I attached so it doesnt hand or swing around and dangle, that helps SOME but its really where its coming out of my body that's really bothering me.
