A little down and uncertain on when I could be discharged. Yesterday total drain was only 20ml. Rather than being happy, I feel puzzled today.
Cos Dr I noticed liquid accumulation on the chest when he came in the morning. That must have explained the sudden drop of the drain count.
Was taught to do more massaging on the area to help push the flow of the drain out nicely to that little container.
So when I was diligently doing that, I only got a 10ml additional so far as I type. The liquid didn't go to where it used to. It went 'out' directly to my drain hole and caused leakage instead.
Again? Yep and I have get the nurse to change the dressing twice. And I hope the thrice doesn't have to happen. I still feel the tingling sensation, and nurse and I both saw slight stain on the dressing already, although it didn't really flow out.
So I have been really paranoid in moving around. Should I move? Or I have been moving too much? Should I continue massaging? Or I should be stopping already?
I only wish the next morning could come earliest and so do Dr I tomorrow morning.
I think I'm down to learn these complications happening on the 5th–7th day when one could actually be discharged during this period....
However, the companion I had today from the family was great. Though a little touchy initially on handling my emotions, but seeing the husband and daughter cheering me up was really heartwarming.
I should learn to handle myself better. Let's hope for a good news from Dr I tomorrow! Til then, good night my dear readers...
