CLOGGED DRAIN

Ugh!

In the middle of the night last night I had to wake up my poor mom because something weird was going on.

I randomly grew a golf ball sized swollen spot in the middle of my chest, right at the end of the incision. That and my severe arm pain aaaand the fact that I wasn’t draining much were making me less than happy.

Anyway, mom called Moffitt last night and talked to an on call doctor, then spoke to my doctor’s office today, and they don’t seem super worried.

We have to keep milking the drainage tube, I have to take extra ibuprofen, and we have to put pressure on/ massage the swollen spot. It’s pretty sore, so that’s not fun, but we’ll try!!

I hate the drain ugh!
