Hi Erin,
Glad to hear you are feeling reasonable after your surgery. If you want to, you can go home with your drain in - it is quite easy to manage, and can be taken out later. I went back a week afterwards, and it was quite painless to remove it. I agree, it is a pain, but only temporary.
Did the physio come to show you exercises for your arm and scar? They are very gentle, but make a big difference to your movement - wait till you have healed a little first! I did mine with the tape still on the chest, after about a week. I was only in hospital 4 days.
Let us know how you are going - thinking of you - love and hugs,
Michelle xx
