OMG couldn't imagine over 5 weeks. I had four in total all removed at different times. The last one was removed at day 13 and for me was a struggle. Once it was removed moving around and having a shower was so much easier. I agree they do get sore around the entrance site and especially if they come apart and they need to re suction them - feels like a dyson is being applied to your chest! All I can say is you are obviously doing an amazing job at keeping it in and when you do finally get it out you will appreciate your freedom so much more.
You are doing great
