Sending healing vibrations your way. I want to prepare you for the drainage tube. Mine leaked and it was terrible. Please ensure that it is properly placed. The catheter wasn't that big of a deal. There will be some pain in the hospital,but fortunately I didn't need more than ibuprofen when I got home.

The night before surgery often brings a mix of emotions and practical preparations. Many find it helpful to focus on following pre-surgery instructions from the medical team, getting rest when possible, and having support systems in place. Wishing you strength as you take this important step in your treatment journey.
