however i think drains r better, it gets Dr. Reid of excess fluild buildup from acummulating in yr chest. bit painful and annoying but a effective method.

Cause now I have fluid in my right side still and and my left side it almost gone and normal. I am seeing my surgeon tomorrow to see if he needs to drain me cause it doesn't seem like it's going away itself. I feel like I still have a boob. LOL
