Pus

Hi...uh, a yucky title huh? I am almost 10 days out and just today notice a tiny bit of pus from my incision where the drain tube is. Is it anything to panic about? I cleaned it and put some antibiotic around it and tomorrow is my 1st follow-up appt. Think I should do anything else or just hang on? Thanks, Kelly

Kelly... If you cleaned it up, and your going to your doctor tomarrow ( assuming you have no feaver) I wouldn't sweat it... Erin

I agree. As long as your appointment is tomorrow. But if you should have any additional symptons (like fever) then call tonight. I pray that the Lord will heal your incision and that you will get a good report tomorrow!! Hugs, Dawn

Thank you guys. I'm just soooo ready to get this yucky tube out of me. It is getting so sore at the surface! I'll keep doing what I'm doing 'til tomorrow afternoon. Thanks for your prayers,too!! Blessings, Kelly

Hi again, Okay, it's nothing at all to worry about. Dr. Scott said it looked perfectly normal. THAT was a relief! I am still sore on that side though. Guess even though they took out the tube (which didn't hurt a bit), there may still be muscles that were cut during my surgery. I know things will get better now. Thanks for your replies. Bless ya, Kelly
