sooooo....

one of my incisions still shows no sign of healing. it won't close in the middle or form a scab, and it's three weeks old. it is VERY tender to the touch and periodically sends shock waves of pain thru my body. it's not infected red, it's scar tissue red. i don't have a fever, i've been checking regularly throughout the day just to make sure. we've been cleaning it regularly and trying bacitracin with the dressings. the incision in the front looks almost 100% healed aside from the fat still being a little displaced giving me a little square belly and the muscles are still a little tender.

is this something i should be worried about?

Tony (uncle) had a hernia or something. and then the surgery site opened back up. He didn't get it taken care of and they ended up having to sort of re-cut it (maybe get dead ends off?) and then he had to pack it and clean it every day. YUCK

Oh and it took months for it to heal from the inside out which was why he had to keep packing it.

so call the surgeon dude!! I don't like the thought of friends walking around with a weird extra orifice on their backs.
