The bleeding stopped, and the drain is still in, but it freaked me out. I was in a cafeteria with my dad and saw blood on my shirt. When I got out of the car, I had caught the drain on the door handle a bit. Second time it's happened.

Should I bother my doctor on a Saturday evening? I'm not bleeding any more. It was only two quarter size stains.

My drain started to leak and SOAK the gause under it just after I came home on Thursday so I gave it until Friday early afternoon and called the doc. She said that as long as it's still draining and not turning colors or smelling that it's fine. I have to change my dressing twice a day because it gets so yucky but my doc isn't worried about it!

Good Luck!

Thanks. The doctor said the same thing: "Don't worry".
