Energy Frustration

I feel like such an old lady. If I do too much one day, the next day is a rest day. I need to behave myself so that I can have my drains removed tomorrow. The health nurse came by yesterday and checked out the scene. Everything looks good, but she did finger wag me and tell me to settle down. I see her tomorrow morning. I must admit that I am a bit apprehensive with her approach though. She said she would release the vacuum from the drain, tell me to take a deep breath, and yank it out! Yank! Yank? Sheina and I did not go through 15 hours of surgery for someone to YANK my drains out. When I left Vancouver, Sheina was very explicit in her instruction that the drains are to be gently pulled out. I told the nurse this, but she just said that my tissue may be growing around the drain, and they need to be quickly pulled out. Slow could cause pain. PAIN SCHMAIN - follow the doctor's instructions please. I'll have to go over these instructions once more before the big drain removal. I'm sure things will be fine - I'll let you know.
