Yes, the drains are probably the biggest nuisance. Today I noticed deep (under the skin) and intense itching sensation; I wish I could unzip and scratch! I suppose that's part of the healing proces too.

I think I was prescribed gabapentin (and second of ibuprofen 800 mg ) because following my lumpectomy I had a reaction Tylenol (became flush, and had shortness of breath) so they took me off thier standard of hydrocodone because it contains Tylenol- maybe oxycodone does as well.

BTW I did try to clean my house -and my sister did yell at me! I was lucky to have her visit for almost a week to help out. I hope I have the same ambition to clean the house after recovery🙃
