Well it was everything that Davez said it would be, and more. They did it under local anesethia. If not for bfing, I would have gone with general just to get some rest, lol. I officially have a tube hanging out of my boob. The tube is attached to this bulb thing that I have to empty every once in a while. I also have to flush the drain with saline once a day. I go back next Wed for a check and I'm hoping they can take it out then. The tube/bulb just hang there. Very yucky.
I'm pumping/bottle feeding right now b/c I'm so afraid Sophia is going to grab the tube and pull:-/
Re: drainage tube put in yesterday...
What we won't do for our babies. Hope this does the trick and that you are on the road to recovery very soon. Is it feeling better yet?

ah, I'm sorry. I know they suck.
Don't forget my safety pin trick if they don't have clips on them. or small little rubber band looped around it, with a pin on that to your bra or shirt or whatever. be sure to watch for any funky stuff around the incision site, and any fever should warrant a call to the doc asap. (I'm sure they told you all this, sorry, I never shut off the nurse thing, lol)
I'll send over my favorite Doc. He's not really a doctor, but he plays one on TV. And he has LOVELY bedside manners..... het.
Oh man Cards!!!!!! I cannot believe how awful this is for you.....I really hope it's all taken care of by Wed. and you can resume BFing........
