I just want to be a normal human again
hi ladies, I need to vent out as I've been crying my eyes out all morning. Day 25 today post bilateral mastectomy with expanders. Had 4 drains in and I have 1 last one in that doesn't want to go!...

Thanks ladies I'm feeling much better now. I think I just needed to have a rant and a big cry.
@primek I do have a detachable shower head so I can wash the bottom and my arms and head in the sink. But I'm definitely going to have a long shower once I can shower properly !
@Afraser thanks for that. I feel better now about keeping it in properly because I didn't realise what problems can occur after. I definitely don't want fluid afterwards for months on end. I guess I just have to suck it up now.
I do have a drain bag the breast care nurse gave me but the colours are a bit out there and it's not something I can take out haha. And a normal handbag won't do because the drain would be seen as the bag is higher up.
Just hoping itll be out saturday morning by the latest
