Thanks for the ideas everyone...I got unplugged and can make it there now...just need for someone to remember to empty and log the amount!

I got the last drain out this morning but they found I have pneumonia so I am on heavy duty medicines to beat that quickly. They were thinking home Wed - now might be Thurs or Fri. Will still have ng tube for feeding, trach - until we know we don't need any more as it was a major pain the ass to get and I don't want to do that again. I am just asking for some pain meds when I have gone since about 8 a.m. without any - it is supper time, so that isn't too bad. Most everything is just numb but the new sewing in the mouth hurts.

Stitches and staples will come out at the 14 day mark, and may jaw wiring as well. Just have to see.
