I have to tell you, and excuse the profanity, but I got my drains out today (three of 'em) and being drain free is BETTER THAN SEX!! I feel like I'm really on the road to recovery now. And guess what else....I have an interview today with the company I already work for, for an excellent position in management. YAH, I was so worried I would have to find a hiding spot for them damn drains in order to get through the interview and now I don't YAH.
I'm healing nicely, going to start radiation soon, and my plastics is going to start expanding on one side next week!!
Mountains of Love and Big Hugs,
Kari

    Kari,
    That IS wonderful
    Kari,
    That IS wonderful news! I ma so happy for you, so sound like you are really on the road to recovery. I had my double mastectomy on 1/29 and it felt soo good to get those drains out, however I am still not back to work. I planned to go back next Tuesday part-time and I start chemo on Wed. so going to take it one day at a time. I wish you the very best on your interview!! GOOD LUCK!

    I don't know. I had seven
    I don't know. I had seven drains and getting them out, although WONDERFUL, wasn't even close to better than sex! But I am happy for you.........it does feel good!

    Great News!
    I hated my drains, too and couldn't wait to get them out - I wanted to dance the jig but I didn't know how;) Good luck on the new job, even though it sounds like you don't need it.

    Yay for you!
    I know those drains can keep us "tied down" so to speak. I always felt free'er and more able to move about once they were out. And I felt like I was really healing up, moving in the right direction~towards the "new normal". Glad you are feeling good~but remember you are still healing, so be gentle on yourself!! Don't start vacuuming the house, or mopping the floors! Let someone else do that for a while. :)
