Success after IF

drainage tube put in yesterday...

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:-/

  • Yikes! I hope it's all better by Wed!!
  • 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.

  • You poor thing.  You're a trooper!  Hope it heals up fast and you can get it out next week.

  • Ugh. I'm sorry you are having to deal with this Stacey. I'm sure your daughter will appreciate it one day. My Mom had one when she had her mastectomy. She would wear this little crochet purse & put the bulb in there when she went out of the house. Hang in there!
