A while back, I mentioned that Janis had 1 of the drains removed...well of course, that means that there is still one in there. We are hoping that this one stops draining enough to take out. Yours truly has had the privilege and honor of being the main drain emptier for the last couple weeks. Last night was a real treat. I think the medical term for it might be "sediment" but I like to use a much more technical term(s) "chunk" or "chunkage". I went to empty the drain last night and squeeze the light orange/yellowish liquid into the cup to measure, there was some, uhhh, chunkage....so I squeezed a little more and it was still in the neck of the drain....a little more...nope.....ok, a little more-then bam-the sweet release of the redish/pinkish chunk into the cup. Gross!!!
Let's hope that this remaining drain will be slow down enough so that it can be removed at this Wednesday's surgical follow-up appointment....you know, so Janis doesn't have to deal with it anymore (not for me, no, not looking for any pity here).

Jeff and Janis,
Cheryl and I can relate. She was only good emptying the drains for a couple days before she was so totally grossed out that I had to do it myself. The best and worst part of the drains is the removal: Worst because it hurts like crazy. Best because it is sooooo good to get those things out.
We continue to pray for you both and are always available if there is anything you need.
Steve and Cheryl
