Ok disappointed here. I called the surgeons office to see if I could get this drain tube out and they said it's still draining too much, so it looks like another day of this irritant is still on my agenda.

Wish I could sleep. It's getting old sleeping in increments, I prefer hours at a time lol.

Take care,
Beth

    Just another hour and a half
    Frickin tube is coming out at 2:00 today...I can hardly wait! I know it sounds bad, but I am so ready to go back to work. Obtain SOME kind of normalcy for a bit until chemo starts. My life is getting ready to turn upside down, sideways, and lots of curves.
