@dmjude Hope you are doing better. If the drains weren’t draining properly, this may be the result. I had two drains for at least 2 weeks. We kept track of the amount of drainage each day. The removal was based on this. Blessings.

I had the drains removed after seven days and 25 mL output for two days straight. I am at the Mayo clinic by myself so they think maybe I overused my right arm and that caused the fluid buildup. I just had a drain put in on the right side in the doctors office today. 40 mg of fluid came out using a drain I won’t have to keep going back if we use a needle to remove fluid there’s no guarantee. It a pain to start over with a drain but being out of town I did not want more complications.
