Merry Titmas to all and to all good breast health

This morning was TOUGH. So I got my drain out yesterday, all wonderful news, buy it was in for 7 weeks. Felt fine after they pulled the drain, then got in the car, drove home, did my exercises, packed up all the gifts, said goodbye to my babies Vee and Lola (really hate that they have to be kenneled) then got the hermit crabs all setted in the car (Gabe got hermit crabs all set up in a habitat that I have been caring for all week) got back in the car, went to the pharmacy, got prescriptions filled, and then got in the car to drive home. Well the hermit crabs need to stay very warm so my dad and I have the heat blasting, it’s literally about 97 degrees in the car and we drive to Reedsville (2 hr 10 min drive). I got expanded at the dr.’s so at this point I feel like an over packed sausage that is being slowly baked. We made it home fine and by the time I went to bed, my back, the side where they pulled the drain was hurting. So I go to bed, prop myself up and fall asleep, i was exhausted. I wake up this morning in horrible pain on the side where I got the drain out. I don’t know if it’s because I have more sensation there now or what , but the whole right side of my body from my hip to my shoulder hurt badly. I am pretty good with pain, and honestly this was the most uncomfortable that I had been since 1st day post op. I am assuming when you have an 18 inch drain in your back and it gets taken out, there will be some stiffness and muscle aches . Well, let me tell you what. It hurt until about 3:30, pain medicine is a wonderful thing. I was able then to enjoy my family at our annual Christmas party and was able to go to church at 1100 . Hopefully tomorrow will be even better. Tonight I got to see most of my family and some wonderful old friends! Merry Christmas (Titmas) everyone ! Hope you have a great holiday!
