Well, I have good news and bad news. My doctor was out sick today, but one of his associates did remove the drainage tube...it's sure a relief having that out! So, the bad news is that my doc has the pathology results but I have to wait for him to call when he feels better. So, more of the waiting game....I really hate this part. :-(
