Phyl,
Thanks, I have added you to my contact list. My Yahoo IM ID is "edornottoed"...... I am also on MSN IM as well as "ednnmiv".......The drainage continues so I have to keep changing dressings, but all is from under the skin near the incision. There is lots of old scar tissue in the middle of my belly and for whatever reason that is where drainage is occurring. The incision itself looks good, but I think my doc put some of the new mesh under the old scar tissue. I am sure this will eventually stop draining. I will get a better picture of what he did when I see him on the 9th. He told me what he did when I was in recovery, but you know how that goes.....too groggy to fully comprehend what was said so I will get a complete rundown later. I am still having to take pain meds right now, but am generally able to sit ok, and am moving about the house as much as possible. Had a very quiet New Year's Eve....watched a movie on TV and went to bed by 11PM.......
God Bless you also, Bob

I hope you enjoy your time being a couch potato and that we can get to know each other better when you are feeling better. My messenger Id. Is phyl865 and if you have yahoo messenger and would like to chat I would like that very much. I like to hear from people that have had the same types of things done that I have and from people that have had other things done too. Good Luck and I will be praying for you to get well soon. God Bless A Friend,Phyl
