Things are gettin' better!

I didn't think it would happen....but the drain tubes are FINALLY OUT! Now, just to warn you in case you go thru this, the second two are not as pain free as the first two. However, what Brenna had me do was take a deep breath in, and then slowly let it out as she pulled the tube out. Well, on the first one, I took the deep breath in and then just held it. On the second drain I remembered to blow out...and it was a lot less paingful :) So, remember....deep breath in....and LET IT OUT SLOWLY :)

Even better news.....the tissue expanders will get more saline next week.

The BEST NEWS.....when I do have the next surgery to take the expanders out and put the implants in....NO DRAIN TUBES!!!!! I was so happy to hear that! The longer the drain tubes are in, the more uncomfortable they become :( But, it's just one of those things that you have to get through.
