I met with the surgeon this morning. There was infection under that incision. Let's just say it was not a fun process but he removed the stitches and drained a LOT of Fluid packed the wound and I return each day this week to be re-packed. He also prescribed some augmentin twice a day.

The surgeon was so sorry it happen. He said I was only his 3rd patient with infection in 15 years... Go figure.

After discussing it with my family to make sure my memory was correct I never reviewed an IV antibiotic prior to surgery. Live and learn. I'm not upset. Just happy to be on the road to recovery.

oh wow : ( I didn't have a bulge just pain. Glad they figured it out
