help!
ughh im scared now!
tonight i noticed that the skin around my incision was a little pink and looked a little swollen and has also been stinging a bit, but i thought it was just cause i have been moving around a lot more yesterday and today.
but i decided to take a look and i just peeled up the edge of my baseplate of my pouch and it is a little red around the staples and there are small spots of what looks like pus type stuff
it wasnt like that yesterday at all! my home care nurse came out and we changed my appliance and she said the incision looked very healthy to her, even though it was stinging yesterday too.
ummmm please someone tell me this is normal?
i am seeing my surgeon tommorow anyways, so i know that it will be answered soon, but im so nervous now. infected wounds seriously scare me
heeelppppp meeee
