Well unbelievably the surgeon set up an appointment to tell me about surgery and let me ask questions and he will check me out. I sure do notice that is I move around like they say, they tell me to walk and stay active. I do it !! When I am activity my bag is bloody red, but I do it anyway. I dump it before bed and when I get up it is all yellow- no red. This morning it was so full, the measuring cup wouldn't hold it all, it only holds 32 OZ. I had an overnight drain of 42 oz and all clear. But not clear now as moving around even though it hurts. Bought me a new bag today that I attache to lower leg. Well have to empty more often, but can walk around without big bag flopping around on outside. Will have to use big bag at night, but pretty easy to change. Pain to clean, don't see why to clean. If I didn't change bag they say it don't need cleaned.
BTW Tomorrow I get to ask questions to surgeon. I have a few. Any of you guys got a question you think I should get an answer from the surgeon???? Well I am heading out to do a 2 block walk. No more 3 mile walks for awhile. The 2 blocks are a little tiring , but not bad. Will cause more red, but already have that from my 648 steps in house.
