drain and dressing yourself - what to wear?
Hi all. silly (ish) question, I have now got my surgery date for the second round of cancer 2.0 this time ill be coming home with a drain, I didn't have one last time on my 1st surgery, is it best ...
Hi
I had 2 surgeries and came home with drains twice, one was small, but the tube inside me was huge, the second looked like badpipes attached to a piano accordain.. it was massive.. I had an across body bag (fabric) given to be at the hospital by the local church...
worked a treat... I mostly wore button up tops, but always a singlet top, as well as it assists with the drain tube not moving. Remember to get plenty of pain relief, I think the drain hurts more than the surgery...
Best of luck with it all.....
