Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 Today is my big day!! I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers. I didn't sleep well because my joints ached real bad. My body sure misses my magnetic mattress pad. I had plenty of time to think of all you wonderful ladies during the night. If your up to reading this...a, I have been thinking of you and wonder how you are doing. I looked forward to hearing how you are. Good luck Liz on your appointment with Dr.Kolb today. I am so excited that you are getting this chance to see her. Donna, my heart is still aching for you, I hope you find a doctor soon, so you can be released from all this anxiety. You don't deserve this. Sis, Patty, Cherie, Rogene, Lea, (I hope I didn't forget anyone) I have been so encouraged and felt so supported by you all. Thank You!! I hope you all have a wonderful blessed Friday and weekend for that matter. Your friend, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 - my thoughts are with you today. I think you may have asked me how long I stayed in Ohio after explant. I actually stayed for 5 days - I had surgery on Monday, and I went home on Friday. The output from the drains was rather high, so I couldn't leave until the output was an acceptable level. Some people are able to leave after 2 or 3 days, but it depends on how much fluid comes out of the drains. I'm glad I had the drains, all that junk would have been floating around in my body and I would have had swelling. I think the reason why I had minimal pain was because I had very little swelling.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I have been praying for you! I know that everything is going to go fine. I did great after my explant. In fact, the next day my husband and I drove for a couple of hours and went to niagra falls!( we went to dr. feng in ohio). I sailed through the surgery and no pain, nothing! The only down side was not being better prepared for how flat and squished I looked after my breasts had been compressed for eleven years! Since you have wi-fi be sure to let us know how you are. love, kathy > > Today is my big day!! > > I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their thoughts and > prayers.

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Sis, You hit the nail on the head when when you describe the benefit of having drains . . . I can't begin to tell you the expense/stress/pain some women have undergone because their doctor DIDN'T use drains! Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
