drains

drains are freaking disgusting. no one should have to have one. the medical community should really come up with something better. they're gross. they leak. they get infected. they hurt. they're really inconvenient to shower with. and they're gross. i cannot *wait* to get mine out. the only reason i'm still at home is because of the drain. i'm not allowed to drive- because of the drain. i'm in no real pain, and there is no reason for me to be sitting at home doing nothing except for the drain dangling out of my side. it is so gross. twice a day i get to "strip" it, and measure the nasty juice that has been coming out of my body. seriously? they make little old ladies do this? how the little old ladies can even hold the tubing tight enough to strip it is beyond me. how they are able to contort themselves so that they can reach the tubing is also beyond me. it's ridiculous. they *need* to come up with a better way. because this is the third freaking time i've had to deal with it, and it sucks. and i'm done. annoyed. angry. and grossed out. ugh.
