Hey everyone, today I was able to take mom home!!! She's in a lot of pain, but she is sooo happy to be home, She read all of your comments for this thread and was so touched by how much you all love her!!! She has what's call "Jackson-Pratt Drain" in her and they showed the both of us how to take care of it. It's pretty easy, there is a lil bulb shape thingy that sticks out of her and they have me draining it out into this sterile cup. We go see the surgeon next week and I'm gonna be asking all the questions that GNTLGNT said! But hopefully tomorrow she will say everything that she wants to say on here, but if not I'll be the one keeping you all up to date!! thanks guys!!!!
