So my post op instruction were to wash my incision with soap and water and cover if oozing or moist. WTH? I have 3 incision (one a drain hole). Two of my incisions were sutured shut. My drain hole was left open to heal from the inside out. I feel kind of weird not covering it with a bandaid or gauze yet the other two incisions actually started healing better once I took off the bandaids. Anybody have this problem or am I the only one skeeved out by my drain hole?
