Thanks to each and everyone of you for the kind words. Its such a relief to get the all clear as you all know.
Margerie I see your as bad as I am. I mean WHY wait when you can find out right now if you are QUICK enough. That's pretty good that you had a chance to grab your chart when the doc walked away. I know I sure would have...after all...it is YOUR chart techically.  Way to go Margerie! Congratulations on your clean scans last week. Fantastic!
As to my drain, it will be 61 DAYS as of this coming Monday. (Ridiculous.) I see my surgeon then and I fully expect it to be pulled. Although I am almost at 30cc's already today and its just a bit after 6:00 PM. As a matter of fact my scans DID mention my drain in there. I had to laugh when you asked if it showed a pair of hemostats in there. haha Had I NOT had the scans...I would of started to think of something like that. lol (Too funny.)
