First post-op

I saw the plastic surgeon on Aug. 5 for a post-op appointment. The nurse removed my dressings and chatted with me. She is a 13 year breast cancer survivor and had some very encouraging things to say to me. Plus she hugged me as I was leaving. My drain sites are irritated and the drains still had enough volume that they needed to stay in. I have another appt on Tues.
The doctor said things look great, better than she expected! She only injected a small amount of saline into the expanders during surgery and elected to wait until the next appt to inject more. I can feel it sloshing around in the right expander. Weird feeling!
