Bleeding from abdominal incision

Hi all, I have a problem that I haven't seen here yet. I posted on the recovery thread but thought I would see if anyone else had answers. I was showering on Friday and while I was toweling off, I accidentally pulled off a little strip of the glue that was used on my abdominal incision. Now it seems I have opened up a small (maybe 1/4 inch) spot and ever since then I have been leaking brown old yucky blood from the split. It is heavy enough that I need to slap a maxi pad over that end of the incision or I will bleed all over myself. It is not red blood just very dark brown old stuff. Where could all this old blood be coming from? It stops when I lay down to sleep on my back at night, but as soon as I get up and get going in the morning it starts dripping pretty bad again. I am going to call the doctor in the morning but just wondered if anyone else had had this problem. Thanks guys, hope you all continue to feel better each day.

If I were you I would probably head to the ER, I am thinking that maybe you need to get stitched back up, and that much blood is always a little scary. Please keep us posted sweetie and take care of yourself, I will keep you in my thoughts.
