At the surgeon's office again today...Still no results on the lab tests from the surgery on Nov. 21st. They may not be in a hurry, but I am!! I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING!
Anyhow, he did pull the drain tubes. I didn't realize that one was just below the collarbone towards my sternum, and the other one was at my shoulder joint. With one great sucking sound, he pulled them both out at once. For a few seconds there, I thought I might tell him to stop...lol.
I go back to see him on Thursday to make sure there is no fluid accumulating and maybe to have the stitches out (I hope). And they should have an appointment with the oncologist by then...
The one thing I am disappointed about is that my surgeon says I can't work from the last surgery until after the treatment. I need to work because I will run out of days if I don't. I will have to talk to him on Thursday and see if I can work for the next 2-3 weeks anyhow or I will be out of days just as I enter treatment.
