Hi well one of the incisions which there are 5 is leaking a clear fluid and is slightly red. Dont think its infected but I am concerned. I know if its a color or smells like puss its infected. Thank God I dont see that. I think if it was infected I would have a fever or something obvious. Lets see what happens. Feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

That's awesome news! Hope your appt goes well tomorrow.

Okay back from the surgeons office he looked at the infection and was wearing gloves and was squeezing it to try to see if there was more puss he made it bleed which indicated no more puss in the infection. So he looked at the lab results taken by another doctor and I have your garden variety infection so he said the antibiotics that were prescribed by the ER were correct. To continue taking them for 7 days every 12 hours and not to use the bacitration anymore but to continue covering it with gauze so as to let it breathe.

Well that's great news. Keep following the docs orders and you'll be right as rain in no time.

Im happy to report that there is no more discharge on the gauze so the wound is healing making its own protective seam. Thank God. One more day on antibiotics. Also I was prescribed Iron and Vitamin D for deficiencies. The Vitamin D gives dry mouth and urinating at night as a side effect which i hate and I am more thirsty. I only got 1 more week on those Vitamins then I continue to take my liquid vitamins.

I take 10,000 iu of vitamin d every week and I had no idea that was what was making me constantly get up so many times to pee. I learn something new every day.

Well Id like to say that the incision is itchy which i heard is a sure sign that its healing nicely now. I still keep it covered with a sterile gauze so it can breath no creams or ointments. I finished the antibiotics. I see the surgeon on the 12th of dec so he will evaluate my condition further. I wonder can I use sugar free metamucil to help with bowel movements. Can I get some feedback for that. Thanks.
