So last night was not a very good night for me. Got a call that my grandfather has passed away earlier in the night and finding a flight for a reasonable amount of $$ this time of year on short notice is quite a chore. That aside, I finally got to sleep and woke up a bit damp.
My large incision had somehow opened up and spewed a blood/pus mess on my shirt. It had been causing me a bit of pain lately, and felt there was something large under there. I just attributed it to swelling. Needless to say, I'm going to give my surgeon a call today and see if this is way serious. I seriously hope not.
Anyone experience anything similar ? I'm 16 days post-op and all of my other incisions seem fine. Steri-strips just fell off the large incision yesterday...
