hey guys, I didn't know any other appropriate spots to put this so here seems would work. I got surgery for my left leg at mid shin because I had a dent there and my leg was incredably sore to put any pressure what-so-ever so they went in sent it out all that. anyways around the incision its become red and warm to the touch and very very tender. I also noticed that it never leaked before. Not even right after the surgery I never had anything on the gauze pad. Until like last week it was leaking and my father, who had a terrible incident involving well over 60 stitches to the back, told me that is usually a sign of healing, but its been increasing and the middle of it is now open.. and there also was some skin flaking off that was brownish-green around the red side. It would appear to be infected but I was told not to put anything on it and I can't get anything in it expect clear and clean water while showering (have to put it up for shampooing and what not (mega pain in the butt haha))
So any ideas, is it infected or normal. I haven't check for a fever but my temp usually runs @ least 2 degrees below normal anyways so idk. What do you think I should do. I think I have another appointment in a week and a half or so... wait or what should I do?
sorry its long but please help!
Always,
Denise
