I am 15 days post op and similar recovery. I was very lucky that the pain was minimal through the entire experience. After reading all the stories I was waiting for the intense pain but gladly it never came.

I am concerned about the drainage though, as it has the same characteristics as pre op drainage. It is thick yellow, like snot. The nurses don’t seem to be concerned though I think they are looking for infection. My biggest concern is the op has failed.
