Oh Harrie, I never would have thought to bring the "odor" thing up but this is when it's nice to compare notes with someone else. Yes, I did and still do have that "funny smell." It's way better now and don't smell it as often but still do. It must be a healing thing - what's going on in our body - drugs (which I'm not on anymore) old blood - tubes - etc. (Sorry to gross you out - wheeewww)

Hey how long did you have drain tubes in? I had 6. Have only 5 now and have to go to the doc this morning and am rootin' on 1 or 2 being pulled today. Oh I excited to am to have them all gone. I've heard the abdominal ones hang on the longest and have heard of some women who have had them like 5 or 6 weeks. That will NOT be me. Hahahahahaha! Time will tell I suppose. One more thing................I can't wait to get back to my exercise routine. Of course I know it will be awhile but would you say 4 weeks is when you can get start getting somewhat physical? Of course I know this all has to go through my doc but just wondering how things worked for you. It all seems pretty standard.

Oh well.....thanks Harrie.........

Love you...
