My girls aren't really missing, but I was thinking about the name of mom's most recent blog post. The girls are, however, both gone. At 9:30, Natalie walked in and announced that she wanted to spend the night at a friend's house down the street and friend's mom said OK. Why not? Then Monica felt left out, so she contacted her usual hang-out house and headed over there for the night. Welcome to summer in my house.
I was talking on a message board to another lady who has had her JP drain nearly 5 weeks (her surgery was the same day as mine,) and she said that she found out that it would drain less overnight if she slept sitting up more. I've been sleeping in the recliner based on other recommendations, but when I wake up, I'm usually reclined back as far as it will go. She tried sleeping upright and is getting her drain pulled tomorrow.
I'm trying to form a plan that will keep this reclining from happening. I asked Monica to sit behind the chair all night and hold it up, but she declined. Come to think of it, perhaps that's why she left for the night? At this point, I'm willing to give anything a shot. If I wake up lying back too far, I may choose the corner of the couch tomorrow, instead of the recliner.
OK, Monica has called to tell me she made it OK. The distraction of typing this blog post worked. Have a fabulous week!

My hubs sleeps on something called a wedge pillow. It's foam and triangle shaped. I wonder if something like that would help keep you more upright?
I'm not sure if that would help or not, but today, output seems down quite a bit. Fingers crossed!
