Minor Sunday crisis 3/7/2010

I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. Got up, went into the bathroom to empty the drains, and did so. One had about what I had expected. The other just had very little. Oh well, made the notes on my tally sheet, and went downstairs. Ray had gotten up earlier, and as I approached my computer, I asked Ray if he noticed anything awry at the wound site. Oh yeah. Apparently the drain had gotten clogged and was not draining, and the gauze, as well as my pajama top were soaked in blood. Uh oh. Called the doctor who walked me through unclogging it, and during the process almost passed out--my blood pressure must have dipped...A quick lie down on the cool bathroom tile did the trick to revive me. Bottom line, it seems to be draining now. Geez--I'll be glad to get rid of these!
