We had our follow-up appointment with Dr. Bouton early this morning. I took a couple of my powerful drugs (the pain meds they prescribed my at the hospital which by the way, I have pretty much weened myself from over the last couple of days) to make sure I could handle the day- ya know, the pain from another procedure especially if they weren't gonna knock me out for it. It backfired a bit cuz the world kept spinning and I had to take 3 hour nap when I got home. Dang! I am not meant to be a drug addict, for sure! LOL
Oops! Off on a drug tangent----Back to my story: I have been using my powerful Jedi-mind tricks to get my JP Bulb numbers to be low enough for him to take them out of me. It half worked!!! He praised me for my miraculous Pathology results and my healing from surgery. But even with my very low numbers that I got yesterday from the right drain, he wants to leave it in a bit longer. He says he likes at least 2 low days (I've only had one but I'm sure by the end of today it will be two) and so.... I am doomed to keep the straw sucking out my right side until next Tuesday. Grrrr! But one is better than none, I say. Get the left one out!
Totally more gross in my mind than anything but he snipped the stitch and slowly yanked it down and out of my body. Brett watched it. He said he could totally see it snake out from under my skin. Gross! But I didn't pass out, the SUCKy thing is OUT and I'm all bandaged up! A big huge Hallelujah!!
I can't tell you how free-ing it feels to have it out! I'm so excited! It is a little sore because he left the hole to close up on it's own. That's gross as well!! Does he realize that there's still a 1/4" hole in my side?? Guess he thinks since I've been so amazing thus far that this will be no different. Hope he's right. LOL
