4 weeks post op wound still leaking
Posted , 12 users are following.
Hi fellow hippies
i am off back to hospital tomorrow for an emergency appointment with my surgeon. I am 4 weeks post op yesterday ( Feb 16 th )
and part of my wound is oozing yellow stuff. It is still quite sore the whole length down too. It was never like this the first time. The first time I asked for melting stitches and never had an issue. This time they put 64 staples in me and I end up with an infection.
I will keep you posted on what happens tomorrow.
Hop op all are healing well

I would be more worried if it were green and I didn't feel well but better to get it looked at than to take a chance and leave it. I think this proves my theory that melting stitches are much better than staples.

i have every faith in my op team. These things can happen. I am just being cautious before something really might go wrong. I am sure they will fix anything that might be wrong.

thank you
I am fine in myself. I just do not want to give something a chance to go wrong. At week 4 I know for a fact I should not still be leaking. I can only put it down to them using staples. Nothing else so I will be mentioning this when I see them in the morning.

When the nurse took my staples out there was issues where the skin did split. So I have had to put my foot down and say no more staples EVER.
I don't care what they think is best for me. They have to learn to listen.

yep fraid so. I am just hoping it is nothing. But we both know I should be fully healed by now at week 4 so if I am still leaking stuff it has to be checked out. I will post once I am home and find out what is causing it and if it is a problem or not. 👍

I would rather get it checked out than risk issues later that I had a chance to stop.
