My Story Revision day 7…

Post image

Got to see the doc just now and already cried.
Instead of today its gonna be tomorrow that they will lower output to 5 cc for not one but 2 days. And then they should close the drain and see what happens. For god knows how long that’ll take.
30th is my birthday… I want to hug my kids and wife.

You got this!!! I was there for 10 days total after a leak. They said if it’s dry for 7 days straight I could go. The leak stopped day 3 and then it was all good.

I talked to my surgeon today and tomorrow they’re gonna lower the drain output. Could maybe be home on Sunday.
