  1. I am sorry you have to endure this. Some wounds heal easier than others but thats small comfort when it's your body. A bigger question this doctor needs to answer to you is the why is the packing necessary? Is ithe wound not healing because of an infection, or excessive drainage, or low protein levels. Packing a wound is tricky business. It requires a health professional to show you how to do it, and then you doing a return demonstration to evaluate effective teaching. Hopefully he gave you a good rundown of signs and symptoms of infection. An open incision makes you a bit more vulnerable. The best thing you can do for yourself is to wash your hands often and try to get in your protein as it vital for wound healing. Take care of yourself and call that surgeon anytime you need t;, thats why you paid him the big bucks.
