Just saw the plastic surgeon on Wednesday. The drains didn’t come out because they’re still draining too much fluid. The nurse is going to call me Friday morning to see if they are draining less and if I am in the right range, she will take them out at the office Friday. They gave me a compression bra to help get the fluid out. I see them again in 3 weeks to exchange the air in the expanders for saline.
They took off the bandages and put on steri-strips. I can now shower I just have to be careful not to get any water on the drain site. I can also sleep in the bed rather than the recliner, yay! She said that depending on the oncologist’s choice they can do the next surgery in 4-6 months.
Thank you so much for joining me on this journey!!!
