Getting drain removed
I'm heading back to Sloan Kettering today to have my drain removed. Had the little sucker in for a week so it's high time, but I'm also getting very anxious. For one, I'm worried that it'll hurt and for another, Dr. Russo might have the pathology report and I'm really scared of it.

Pathology
You were lucky. I had to have mine in because it kept leaking. One week was quite enough. Burned like crazy getting it out but not as bad as I feared.
Here's my path report. Unfortunately it's cancer but could be a lot worse:
tumor type: clear cell. Stage pT1a
size: 2.4 cm at mid pole. 3.5 at greatest diameter
Local invasion: not identified
Renal vein invasion: not identified
margins: free of tumor
adrenal glad : not identified
lymph nodes: not identified
