I was just sore, and thought I was healing fine.........let me tell you, Went back to work Mon. Tues at noon my boss took me to the ER for chest pain.... Do Olsen did CT and upper GI he found fluid next to the surgery area. I then had an allergic reaction to the CT contrast and welped from head to toe. He admitted me and did another CT with different contrast and the fluid disappeared. But while I was still in the hospital yesterday that incision site you are talking about right around the belly button started growing fast and got hard. Well this morning he came in with a blade and cut it right open. I got an infection.......

Quite a story huh...well the nurse told me it seems like everything is going wrong, but it happens to almost everyone. I hope this is true because if not, I am doomed.

Oh my gosh. It sounds like you've been through the wringer! I hope you get your infection cleared up quickly and carry on with a smooth recovery in future!

Oh My GOODNESS, Bre....that is horrible. I am so sorry you are having problems. And, I am so sorry to hear this happens to "almost everyone"...eeeks.....were you back on the 3d floor of the women's hospital again?

Did Dr. O do drains on you? Dr. Houston didn't on me....I am having trouble, though. That pain to the right of my belly button that was suppos'd to "be gone" w/in two weeks is worse than ever. My incisions are all looking really good (except for one, they are barely noticable), but the PAIN (and I mean, doubled over intense pain) I am feeling just to the left of my belly button is getting so much worse every day. I could hardly stand up straight today. My husband says I have to call Dr. Houston on Monday---but I feel like a whimp.....I guess I should, just in case.

I sure hope you get better soon!!! I am sorry you have had so much trouble. Hang in there...xo, Micheala.

No he did not do drains. All the other incisions look good, but one. It was a little sore and all the sudden within one day it grew and grew. So he opened it and I am cleaning at home, but it is funny how much better I feel now. My hubby is like yours, 'call the doc'. Aren't we lucky to have man-moms looking after us? :)

Hope yours turns out ok.
