A few thoughts: I’m 4 days post and still having the shoulder pain. My drain had to be emptied about 6 times over 2 days before they pulled it. All blood. I can’t imagine all that blood still in me. I’m glad they used the drain and I opted to stay another night inpatient until they could pull it. The idea of going home with a drain after one night and all that internal bleeding seemed sketchy.

Better yet, don't have surgery. Choose radiation or brachytherapy instead.

This is all b s. How they can send a human being home after a surgery like that is beyond me. It’s barbaric. All these doctors care about is what the insurance company says. You shouldn’t be in your 70s or 80s after a surgery like that and sent home after 1 day in the hospital. It’s nonsense. They could care less. About your pain or care. They wanna get paid
