The edge of the dermabond started to peel off one of the incisions, and I noticed some creamy, thick yellow-tan stuff oozing out of the incision. No redness, heat or pain, but it sure looked like pus. I called the surgeon's nurse coordinator, who assured me what I was seeing was fat necrosis, not pus. The fat is almost literally melting and oozing out of the incision. I'm keeping a Band-Aid on it just to keep it clean and dry, but that's it.

Hmmm... now that doesn't sound like the most pleasant sight... and seems good you called even though there aren't any signs of infection. Otherwise, feeling a little better Randy? Sure hope so - I know those first couple weeks can be a little rough. Steve

I see the surgeon on Tuesday, so he'll check it then. Yeah, I'm better. Struggling not to drink too much too fast, but not getting all weepy anymore. Went and did a little shopping today, but tired out fairly quickly - glad I've got the entire week off!

Congratulations again (not on having weeping wounds....just on getting here in general!) =)
