need full details in these type of cases. usually if the drain is minimal , it is managed conservatively.it may take anywhere from 1 month to 3months or more depending on patient and condition which is assesed by the treating doctor. if the leak is more then further planning will be done. yes it will be difficult to go to hospital. try to adjust for some difficulties.
