Post Surgery Day 4

Have call into doctor. My drain is starting to fill with blood again. Not good. .. Dr called me back and the thought is that there was a blockage that broke loose. The drainage now is stuff that should have been draining all along. Everything else is looking good. If […]

Post Surgery Day 3

I’m experiencing a little more pain around the areas where the robot went in. I have been “ambulating” (walking around) a lot more today.  The JP drain is almost empty today. I have a follow up appointment with the surgeon on Monday. He was supposed to remove the drain and […]
