Red face extrusion of icd

Hi,
My cardio and e.p. doctors told me yesterday that my icd was about to extrude from my chest. that means display it's shiney self to me.
Problem is if it decides to come thru before my next tues. hosp. admit. I might be looking at a serious problem with my mech. valve. Worried about infection or staph.
It looks like this rare occurance is about to happen since the skin is very discolored and I can see the device quite clearly. Has this happened to any of you out there.
thanks
jerry1l
