Bullet Proof Vest and Clear Grenades

I know some of you already have begun to think of me as a Super Hero but this makes it official!  Here's my new Super Hero Outfit or at least the  bullet proof vest part of it. I am on strict instructions to wear it non-stop for 4 days or so. And then what???... I still have straws protruding from my sides attached to clear grenade looking things. So even if I take it off, what do I do with those? Believe me, if throwing them was an option, I would have already done that. Possibly blowing something up along the way. I heard that people shout hallelujah when they finally get them removed but now I am a believer. I am gradually weening myself off the pain meds and it hasn't been that bad (the surgery sight or the stitches) except for the tubing! The thought of these gross drains alone makes me queesy. Then the feel of them stitched into my sides is sometimes twitch-worthy! I have to be careful they don't hook on anything or get yanked on. They rub against my sides and stick to me if it's hot out. I can't figure out if hiking my bra way high or pulling it way low would make it feel any more comfy. Neither seems to work. And as Glory so eloquently put it- "They cut off your boobs but now you look pregnant." LOL Oh the honesty of a four year old. She's right though. Not much I can do to hide my flat chest and bulging stomach (or sides of it at least)  I  do have an appointment Thursday morning with Dr. Bouton. He said my numbers need to be below 20ml on a side to have it removed. I'm willing them to cooperate (Jedi mind tricks should work, right?) cuz I need them gone! We'll see how that goes... but a girl can wish, can't she?
