Well i go in tomorrow for them to put a cathater in back to drain the fluid from my neck. i think i am more scared now then when i had surgery.they want me to lay completly flat for 5 days and eat on my side. this will be very hard for me due to the fact that i have adhd and sitting for long periods are very hard. I know have to this in order to recover but ugh. i also have to use a bed pan and have no idea how. lol I know TMI

also afaid that the patch where it is leaking will not sea after they drain the fluid. just had to vent for a few because i am just done and want to feel better. thanks for listening
