minor setback

So I went to feed the cat today and pulled…something.  Was in bad pain for a few minutes there but it did calm down.  Doesn’t hurt to cough or move or anything like that but I’ve gotten really protective of it again.  It.  What a joke.  There’s nothing there.  I’ve lost 2 lbs and I wonder if my boob weighed that.

I talked to a nurse at this nurse network place and asked if I could get the drain removed now because it’s hardly draining anything anymore.  He, yes, it was a he, said no harm, no foul leaving it in until my appointment with the surgeon or wait until it’s been dry for 24 hours then get it removed.

Right now I’m so conscious of having a missing part.  I don’t know if the drain accentuates that or not, it may.  It may also be that I can’t even make my hair look right or get rid of the sallow and drawn out look on my face.   I guess every up day has to have a down part once in a while.
