OK, I am post-op(1/17/02), I had a wound infection and I have two holes in my incision

that are draining some nausty smelling fluid. My surgeon(Dr. Leitman) says the smell is normal. Today when I came home from work and changed the bandages there was a big glob of mucus type discharge(dark grey in color) that was so big I don't know how it fit through the little hole. I don't have a fever and otherwise feel OK. I was wondering if this has happened to anybody else? It also smelled really bad, the doctor (I paged him) said it is nothing to worry about but I am still concerned. Thanks!
