Looks just like George, except he wasn't clear and resided in a jaunty little fanny pack.

LOL my ball didn't have a name. But it was this wonderful thing that went into my tummy and delivered meds directly to the area. My husband pulled it out and I felt nothing except for the tape. OMG no one warns you about the tape. It's like getting a wax with cold wax very very slowly. I'm doing so much better today. Thank you to everyone for their warm wishes. I still have pain where my main incision is and if i try to bend certain ways or twist it pulls and hurts. Same thing if I try and get up the wrong way. I know that'll get better. I'm taking my pain meds at night because I've caught myself twisting in my sleep. Other than that it's rare that I take them during the day. I just want to get this drain out and be done with my constant shoulder bag. I'm still having problems with cold stuff which is frustrating. I tried warming it up in my mouth first but that didn't seem to help. I've been walking tons which has been nice. I handled my husband eating in front of me for the first time pretty well. The thought of eating all that food (it was a pb&j sandwich) made me sick lol. I do miss chewing gum though. I understand that it is dangerous if you swallow it but I have swallowed gum in like 16 years.

This thread by far is one of the funniest that I have read on this site. Thanks guys for the laugh. The whole search for the meaning of a pain ball...hilarious!!! So I got a laugh and I learned something new.

Thanks again and I hope you all have a terrific weekend!

BTW... I didn't know what a pain ball was either. @ Jordien, agreed... testicular pain - it's not funny but admittedly, I laughed when I read that. LOL

Be well,

Niki
