One Week Post Op

It's Christmas Eve and Dr. Newman wants to look at the incision and determine if the drain should come out. It has been draining more than it was the last time. I am doubtful it will come out today. It is such a pain to have this thing. More annoying this time is the drain is right at my spine. My incision is close to a foot long and there are a lot of staples. I can feel the drain moving within my back.

As luck would have it, Dr. Newman decided to take out the drain. What a great Christmas gift! I was so relieved and felt the worst was behind us. I was really sore and this was the first trip I made even downstairs, let alone leave the house.

Christmas was low key. We stayed home and enjoyed each other and our family. Scott really stepped it up making everything normal for the kids. I tried to recover as quickly as I could. The kids would go back to school soon and I would be back to the normal hussle and bussle soon enough.
