Diagnosed a couple months ago with IDC, multifocal,

Pain wasn’t relieved entirely with ERAS, but was manageable with extra strength Tylenol. I was observed for 23 hours after surgery then sent home, so it was a same day surgery. The drains were a pain in the bum, I was given a soft stretchy camisole with drain pockets before I left the hospital.

Thank you so much for this kind and helpful reply! I am very grateful for your help!

I’m not looking forward to the drains but I understand they are necessary and I will have to keep the lines from clogging and just endure the discomfort I guess.

The doctor made it sound like I would be totally numb for four days, not sure if she meant a nerve block or what, but totally numb sounded great to me, I figured after the first four days the pain wouldn’t be too awful.

The other doctor said mine would be same day but they might keep me overnight if I am having pain etc. which made me think he wasn’t on the same page as the “you will be totally numb” doctor.

I’m still hoping I will be totally numb for four days, fingers crossed! Some kind of magic nerve block, I don’t know.
