You sound as though you are doing really well.I didnt find it painful getting the drain out.The nurse said to me ,now take a deep breath... and as I did,she whipped it out! Kind of like ripping off a bandaid on a child.Over before you can blink !!!!!!You are right to be moving around,as it really assists in the recovery.When I was in hospital,I used to walk around the wards every day.I hardly saw any other patients doing this.I was talking to the nurse on duty one day,and she told me that most patients would be helping themselves if they just got up and walked,but a lot of them can't be bothered!!Keep on touch and keep up the good work :)Cheers Robyn
