Lobectomy done, pain from the tubes

Hello everyone,

i had the lobectomy done on Thursday, and I’m still in hospital. The pain from the draining tubes is quite severe, certainly much worse than I expected.

A lot of fluid is still coming out of my chest, so I’m not sure when the tubes come out.

Has anyone else experienced this, and how did you get through itAny advice welcome.

Best.

  • Yes we are. We will beat it. Hope you get your tubes taken out and get home. I tried the spare bed today as it's lower. Manged to get in and out of it. Must be on the mend. We have a good chance of beating this with the surgery. All we have to do is recover. All the best for best fir getting home. Take care.
