Possible Infection?

Hey Guys,

As you all know I had my last round of plastics on August 17th.  Well just a brief update when I had my modified LBL and inner thigh lift I had two holes that opened up on my backside.  No odors, no fevers, and went to the doctor he did a debridement on one of them and we started backing with saline solution.  Everything is fine there the holes are healing up nicely.

Now to the current situation well thursday I went to redo the tape on my arm incisions he did the implants under the muscle and in the arm pit.  Well I know that you can have seeping from your incisions for up to four or more weeks depending on how your body heals.  Okay did the left side everything okay I have so white skin under the left breast that I put some neosporin on it and put a bandange over it.  Then got to the right side.  from the elbow down a little seeping but okay but i have white skin underneath the right breast as well so I did the same thing.  Then I started to pull the tap under my arm pit and it was completely drenched.  So I pulled the tape and there is about a 6 inch opening that has the same green color  the odor smelled like fritos .  I just broke down in tears because I was here just with my twin sister who is extremely squeamish.  I really needed my mom but she is having to help with sitting and taking care of my cancer grandma.  So my sister helped as best she could.  I soaked a large saline gauze sponge and with my sister's helped we taped the area.

I called my mom and she had to once again sit with my grandmother and my dad called my surgeon the next morning before they opened and I was finally a sleep and comfortable.  So he called in two antibotics one was amoacillin and the other was cipro.  I am feeling a little better but still have a temp of 100.3 the lowest it has been is 98.9 so no normal temp.

I will be showering tomorrow with my moms help so she can see these areas.  I see my primary doctor tuesday.  I don't know what she will want to do.  I may have to have Iron infusions so I can go back to work on time.  And she will probably send me to see my surgeon the same day.  I hope that they just don't admit me.

Any help would be great. I would love to hear all of your opinions.

Thanks,

Jasmine
