Day 28, AYAT. They put a drain in drain a fluid pocket that they suspected was infected. I hated these drains as they were so painful. I would guard them with my hands and stabilize them with tape. If they moved at all they would put pressure against the skin and muscles. I absolutely hated them, but they served a purpose and they were part of the recovery.

Today I revived the box of my medical records and it was the size of a paper box. I have read through 270 pages and have learned a few things. I’m currently in the charges section and again I thank God for insurance. I cannot imagine dealing with all of this without it. Ready for a nice low key day seeing a special project together.
