As soon as I finished posting this, of course, they came in and removed the tube. Therapy was right behind them, and they had a device to stand me up. They put a diaper on me, and all the liquid came pouring out, but I was able to stand up and sit down. I thought the tube was going to be so long, but it was really short. I didn't even feel it when it came out, and they put a clean diaper on me, and I feel good. I had somebody help me pack my bags, and I said I wanted the Depends, but she packed my period pads instead. So tomorrow, I'll get the right stuff, and I can get out of the diaper. The shocking pain is gone. Like I said, it's annoying today, and I'm able to move around pretty well. I keep telling them not to let me go back to the rehab, and I think they're listening.
