TheRealMeIsHere! 863 Posted October 7, 2013 First hiccup today. My cat unexpectedly jumped in my lap today and promptly bit one of my drain tubes. Punctured it and rendered it useless. Not wanting to risk infection, the doc told me to just pull it out. Still have 2 drains left and this one was the least producing so not a big problem. Feeling pretty good otherwise. Trying to not do much at all but I am able to get up and down much easier today. I'll have to REALLY watch my cat, he loves to chew wires. Especially fat ones. Ate an A/C wire once. Will probably LOVE drain tubes, LOL 1 Butterthebean reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M2G 1,836 Posted October 7, 2013 Soooo, is this cat one that needs a good punching or a serious talking to? LOL! I hate drains, I would secretly be giving that cat extra treats and telling him THANK YOU for helping remove evil from my body. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah....he needs a good throat punch for this and 14 years worth of harassing me. But yep, it did work out in the end. Getting the drain out was nice. 1 M2G reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Butterthebean 8,146 Posted October 9, 2013 Have you had your follow up yet? Sent from my iPhone using VST Just got back from his office this morning. I actually had another hiccup. Came down with a fever Monday night and it persisted all day yesterday. Felt very "flu-like" and honestly I just wanted to die. But the fever broke last night and I'm feeling much better. The doc removed another drain this morning so there's just 1 left. He also put me in a smaller binder which is slightly better, and ok'd me to take a shower. He gave me a real hard time about the cat biting the drain tube. He has yet to find a colleague who's ever heard of that happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Butterthebean 8,146 Posted October 9, 2013 He's going to dine out on that story for years. So glad you're better. I was thinking the same thing. I can see him at the golf course telling the other doctors....."and then he actually said the f**king cat bit a hole in the drain tube...LOL....talk about desperate to get rid of a drain" 1 gamergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kijohns3 106 Posted October 9, 2013 Lol I can actually see him saying that!! I am glad that you are feeling better. Be careful with that shower... It is exhausting and you will need standby help. The first one was the only one I needed help with. After that no problem. I think my blood pressure dropped when the binder or garment was off and made me nauseous and dizzy.

mistysj 1,940 Posted October 9, 2013 Re showering, get one of those cheap plastic outdoor chairs and put it in the shower. Sit on it while you shower. This was a lifesaver after I had knee surgery a few years ago. 1 Butterthebean reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
