Re: 5 weeks still have drains in.
I guess I'll find out for sure at my next visit with the PS. I had drains with the mastectomy, only two, and they pulled them out after 10days. I hope the exchange goes as smoothly as the mastectomy. Certainly not fun, but endurable. I had some cording too, but most of that is gone now, and I have almost full range of motion. It gets better, right? And we learn to live with whatever reconstruction or not we decide upon.
