Thanks for this. For right now (while in a light robe) I stick the bulbs into my pockets. When I arrived home my dog was so excited I really had to make sure he didn't think all this stuff was dog toys....stressful for sure! LOL The tubes are really long (they go to the floor). I am hoping that the drain time will be short. Otherwise feeling great. Able to work at the computer yesterday a.m. (standing) but the visiting nurse said to keep that at a minimum right now. Walking is better than standing and both are better than sitting, esp. since if sitting, they want legs elevated...not real comfortable.

@mdr3 Thank you for coming back and giving an update.

I am so pleased that you are feeling good enough to stand at your computer and do a little work. It's so easy to overdo it, isn't it? I suppose that's why the visiting nurse gave you that caution.

I smiled about the bulbs in your pocket and the excitement of your dog to see you. Nope, sweetie. These are aren't your toys as you get everything out of the way of your dog.

Walking could be good as you'll get a boost of exercise that you don't get standing at your computer! I'd be tempted to settle in with a good book with my legs elevated but then you need to find that comfortable position so that you can focus on what you're reading.

Do you have help at home for your daily needs?

It’s so nice that you are updating us! Thank you! I bet your little dog was very relieved to see you! You made me laugh when you said didn’t want your dog to think the bulbs were a toy! You definitely don’t want to overdo it. I did get up a little throughout the day but mostly I just laid in bed with pillows under my knees watching movies and sleeping for several weeks.
I had to keep my lymph drain tube for 3 or 4 weeks. We are all thinking of you!
