I too had the J-P drains in the hospital. The swelling is just a "blip" along the way. Lots of stiffness in my neck and shoulder too and I do daily exercises including the fingers up the wall crawl to keep my mobility.
Chris: Good luck to you with your radiation/chemo. My simulation is March 1 so should start soon thereafter. You're in my prayers.
Be well. Zenda
