Hi Jen huny
Doesn't sound like exactly smooth sailing for you I am sorry to hear.
When I had surgery I had a private nurse come and visit me every day at home for quite a few days after I was discharged. Did they come and visti you in hospital to organise it so they could check your drains and dressings etc?
Must be painful having bruised ribs. Bloody drains are a pain.
The draining of excess fluid shouldnt hurt as they can normally do it on the scar area which is numb.
Did a physiotherapist explain to you about doing exercises as soon as you can? This helps with keeping lymphodeama away (swelling from build up of fluid - not an added complication you need if you can help it}. if not told what exercises let us know and we can help you out there.
If there is anything else you need please just let us know.
Sending great big healing hugs and wishing you smooth sailing from here on in.
Luv always, Mich xoxoxo
