    You'll want some anyway so that your drain tube doesn't dangle when you walk.

    Why does it dangle.  How long

    Why does it dangle.  How long will it be?  How long will I have it?

    Funny Story:

    Funny Story:

    Never been a fan of underwear.  My grandaughter mimics me and wants to do everything I do when she is here and one of the things is not wear underwear, lol...I have been thinking since way before my cancer dx that I should be a better influence and get some underwear just for when she stays the weekend, ha.  I guess I will definitely add granny panties to the list of things I will need for post surgery.  Ya, my granduaghter is going to flip out :)

    Going commando

    After radiation I could not tolerate wearing underwear. It didn't hurt as such, in fact to this day I can't describe the feeling adequatly. It almost made my skin crawl. 

    I spend as much time without underwear as I possibly can, even though the crawling feeling isn't quite so bad, it is still there.

    LOL  well, IF you have one, it has to be long enough for you to be able to reach it to empty it. Mine ended just below my knees (if I remember correctly) and I had it about a week after surgery..
