Large incision burst

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...

I'm so sorry to hear about you grandfather. I would call your dr. immediately about your incision. It seems like it may be infected. Make sure you take care of it before leaving for your grandfather. Hope all goes well. Please keep us posted!
