Surgery - What to expect? :/ TMI!

[birdie0518 2]

I'm having surgery in may. My surgeon informed me I will have the drain for almost 2 weeks. That really freaks me out.

The drain is more of a hassle than anything else. I will have mine in for about 9 days and my husband drains it for me. I haven't used much of my pain meds because it taste awful but the pain hasn't been that bad. Good luck!!

They really do taste awful! I only take when I really need it. Mostly in the evening just before bed. The liquid one they gave me in the hospital, just before I left to make sure I could tolerate it, I thought was going to make me throw up. Thankfully the one they aent me home with is not as bad as that one but still gag at the taste. Lol
