Yep, used the Magic 8 Ball (this is such a hoot - makes me feel 10 again!) to determine if I should shave - I had a four day growth and was a little hesitant to shave considering that with the blood thinner they gave me, I might bleed a whole lot if I cut myself shaving (I do that on a regular basis, helps on my project of keeping myself humble. Actually, I'm just too cheap to go buy a decent razor....)
So... I asked Magic 8 Ball "Should I Shave?" and it replied "The way I see it, YES" - So I obeyed (and did NOT cut myself).
As for the JP drain, yep they installed it during surgery, due to their concern that there could be leakage of staples/sutures because of the unexpected problem they encountered removing one of the surgical instruments. I'll keep it in probably 'til my post-op appointment next Thursday. It's annoying, but since it's for my own safety, I'm dealing with it. It's not particularly noticeable, and I forget it's there a lot of the time, so I'll live thru the experience, I reckon!
So, Bridget - THANKS again for the fab gift of the Magic 8 Ball, and for coming up to see me at the hospital. After y'all left, one of the nurses asked if that was my family who came by - and I had to say, well, yes! 'Cuz you folks ARE my NEW FAMILY!!!!!
