I had to go back to the surgeon today because the fluid had begun to collect again.  He wanted to do a drain tube and got me all numb and everything, but was unable to get the tube into the space where the fluid was from where he had made the incision.  So he opted to drain it again - not nearly as much stuff this time only 70 or 80 cc's.  He told me to keep it packed with gauze and wear a tight bra (sports bra) in hopes that will keep the fluid from collecting again.  He said if it comes back, he'll have to take me into the OR to insert the tube where it needs to go.  So, I'm gonna be wearing the tightest things I can find - that will be a big change after wearing things loose and comfortable for such a long time now.

Keep me in your prayers, I really don't want to have another surgical procedure.
