HawaiianTexan 44 Posted December 9, 2014 You probably should. Just curious do you have a desk job? I've been worried about sitting all day crunching my stomach when I have to go back to work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BitterSweet* 835 Posted December 9, 2014 @@newstartme, Without having bumped yourself - causing a bruise or administration of Lovenox shots into your abdomen, that black and blue color is from bloody drainage. Could simply be residual, old drainage from where your JP drain was after surgery. But black & blue, pain, and swelling would mean an ER trip for me. I hope you feel better soon.
