Had mascetomy with implant reconstruction with drain. Operation after lunch on 14th sent home today 15th with drain. Struggled with loo last night cos I had no bag to put drain bottle in. I think those with 2 plus drains are entitled to bag. Since I only had one I am not entitled. Feel fragile I live on own I do have friends
Hi, it does all feel a bit awkward at first - you do get used to manouvering it but a fabric bag with longish straps that will sit over your shoulder definitely makes things a lot easier. Do you have anything that would do - some of the fabric reusable shopping bags are pretty much the right size and shape. The main problem I found was I would sometimes put the bag down on the floor while sitting down then forget to pick it up when I got up again, or if I had another bag (if I’d popped out to the local shop) I would put all my bags down then try to walk away! Hope things get a bit easier soon x
Thanks Got pink bag on discharge. Still takes getting used to. Everywhere I go the drain goes to as in Mary had a little lamb. I soon know if I forget or knock it over. The number of times that happen can be counted on
More than 2 hands. X
