4 days post op with a lumbar drain

Hey everyone… finally back home. Dr. Kim performed my decompression surgery. Monday. He ended up having to take out the herniated section of my brain. And then inserting a lumbar drain to drain the spinal fluid off my brain. I was in surgery for 6-7 hours and then recovery another 2. Then Tuesday they installed the lumbar drain. Has anyone else had the drain… were you sore afterwards. … what can I expect. I am so excited to be on this road to recovery… I know Gods healing hands are surrounding me. I can’t wait to be an advance for others.

I’m glad to hear you doing well!
