Seroma update

This morning after my shower I noticed something wet on my skin. I thought I didn't rinse the soap off me well. So I just wiped it off and then I noticed it again. The seroma was draining through my skin this time instead of my belly button. Remember I told you I bruised so badly from the last time my doc drained it. Well the place where he stuck the needle had a scab over it. I believe the fluids forced the scab off and came out. I squeeze it as much as I could and it was so painful. However, after about 30 minutes I couldn't get any more out. The pain has subsided a lot and I feel much better. There's still a small seroma there but instead of being the size of an egg it's about a quarter in size. I called my surgeon's office but he was out today. I don't think I need to go in but I will call him again in the morning. All he ever does is look at it and say it's better for the fluids to come out. And that the fluid comes out an opening it can find. I have about 3 more days left on the antibodics so hopefully, that will go ahead and clear it up. Thanks for listening to my vent.
PS: Yes I did socise (socialize & exercise) this morning for about an hour. If I don't go exercise I feel so lost and then I tend to overeat because I'm bored. Still trying to get a handle on that.
