Hi Debbie,

I hear ya on the drains BUT it hasn't been just too bad. On Monday I had 3 more of the 5 remaining drains removed. So only have the 2 abdominal ones in yet. They can be put in my pants pocket - so - not bad. After stripping and draining those 2 this a.m. I may call because I think at least one may be able to be pulled. It will feel so awesome to have them all out. Oh well, I'm not complaining though - it all went so well so drains are just part of the package. I know women who had to have abdominal drains in for 4 or more weeks so I feel fortunate that 9 days later mine are ALMOST finished.

Love to you debbie,

Mary Jo
