Had drains removed. After removing all the bandages from the surgery site, the surgeon just slowly pulled at the tubes until all the tubing came out -- 15 cm. of tubing from each side. Unlike the first time, it didn’t hurt at all. Total amount of fluid in the drains since surgery: 80 ml. on right, 50 ml. on left.
It’s pretty amazing that a long piece of plastic can be sticking out of your body, then you pull out the plastic, and the hole just repairs itself.
Went for an hour-long walk at East Coast Park with Tony tonight. Felt good. After getting the drains out, I was just itching to go for some exercise. I stopped all exercise for a week after surgery and could definitely feel the difference -- more sluggish and weak and just generally blah.
