Good riddance drain

Well today is the day that the drain comes out.  It has been uncomfortable and stinging a bit but it is apparently going to hurt a bit to remove.  Oh well I will have to suck it up because I can't wait to be rid of it.  I had the most wonderful visit today from a friend who had taken time out to bake and decorate me a beautiful cake too.  It was super to see her, gave me a real lift, but she had also sent me several text messages to lift me too, while she was unable to visit for any reason, it was Christmas after all and there had been a bit of poorliness in her house which she didn't want to share.  Bless her she missed me and couldn't bear to be out of touch.  I am truly grateful to have friends like her.  The weather here is pants, but hubby and son are supposed to going and looking at a car, I think I said earlier in the week that my son's car has been breaking down.  I am going to struggle with the fact that I am unable to drive if he can't take me anywhere either.  I am looking forward to more visits over the next day or so.  I have to go and get washed and dressed ready for the hospital, as for the first time since I got home from hospital I didn't sleep well last night and so then overslept this morning. Argghhh! Will let you know how the hospital goes.
