Majo

Glad your surgery is over and done with Majo and all has gone well.  You husband must be so relieved to have you home.  I remember sitting up in a chair for the first 2 nights as I couldn't lay on my back.  I ended up getting about 4-5 pillows and stacking them all round me in bed.  I wasn't a back sleeper either but laying amongst the pillows made it easier to sleep on my back.  I slept that way for about 6 weeks until I could hug a pillow on my side.  Before I left the hospital I was given a few spare drain bags and shown how to change them myself.  Just a couple of minutes to unscrew the old one and replace.  My surgeon wanted to know the fluid output so I had to keep a note of the dates and ml's.   Such a great feeling to finally get them removed!  Good luck with your return visit to the surgeon in 2 weeks.  Hope you continue to feel better every day :)   Jane x
