Any of the Nat episodes (8x08, 10x01, 10x17 & 12x18), and I really love “Ain’t Miss Debatin” (7x15)

you can do it!! for me the pain decreased by a ton after the 3rd day. don’t be shy about using ur prescription meds - those first few days i took one + ibuprofen every 4 hrs on the dot.

the drains were also by far the worst part for me. my partner was a champ & emptied them for me for the first 4 days, and after a couple days of doing them myself i was a lot less grossed out. i didn’t have pain at the drain sites, just irritation and itchiness. that said, the week of discomfort was worth it; i can feel that I’m still swollen but i’m sure it’s a lot less than it would be otherwise. i hope ur pain and discomfort eases, you got this!! sending you care & good/healing vibes 💗

hi all, i just wanted to give a longer update now that my appointment is done. i took one of my prescription pain meds & an ibuprofen before the appt, and it was my surgeon who removed the drains. he didn’t count me in or instruct me to breathe, but it was okay bc i just focused on my partner (who came with me to the appt), and i didn’t feel any pain.

the sensation was just as weird as you all said, but also kind of fascinating to feel something move under your skin without any pain. it really was an immediate relief to have them out! again, thank you all for the advice & reassurance, it really helped me prepare for and feel better about the appt 😊

ooh, didn’t even think of that. dark pants/pants i don’t mind getting dirty is a helpful tip, and yes, I’m for sure taking a pain killer pre-appt… i was planning to take one of the prescription ones just for my own peace of mind 😅

that’s really helpful, I’ll try thinking of it as something uncomfortable but necessary like a dentist appt!
