Day 8

Visited the doc again today. Got my drain taken out, so I am
officially unplugged! Didn't hurt, but was an interesting sensation
having a 6 inch plastic tube pulled out from under your skin. I now
have to wear a compression binder, looks like a girdle, for support
and to help with healing. Worst part is that my back hurts pretty bad.
The first week I walked at a 90 degree angle, now I'm up to a little
more than 45 degrees, which is even harder on the lower back. Stomach
feels so tight that it seems impossible that I'll ever walk completely
upright
again. Incision looks good, but I've got a pretty good bruise on my
right side.
