Just had my drain tube removed

[copmom 73]

Well went to surgeons office today to have my drain tube taken out...

Wow it was 3feet long held in with a suture

I had it in since last Tuesday when I had surgery

My husband said it was like watching clowns

Coming out of a clown car he kept pulling...

Can I say Ouch now that hurt!!!

Lost 14lbs since surgery can eat Full liquids

Now

Doing great stomach a little sore but I take one

Day at a time sweet Jesus ....

Hope everyone is doing good today

And as the seemingly mile-long tube was being removed, it bumped into various parts/organs that aren't used to being messed about. Creepy! Didn't hurt me so much as made me feel like crawling under the covers for a few days...

I had a JP drain like that for 10 days post-op. I hated it and it annoyed me the whole time, but the worst part was when it came out. I'm with you that it didn't really hurt, but it felt like there were snakes moving around in my belly!!

Wow! That's interesting because mine was removed the day after surgery ????
