incision

Ok, I am sure this is my fault, but I am wondering what others have experienced.

I am 4 weeks post op, and my incision (belly button down) was all closed with a small pinhead type opening where my fold of fat is ( yes I admit I do have one of those) It was almost gone, and this week I ramped up the housework. Yesterday I cleaned and today I BRIEFLY ran the vacuum.

Now, the hole in the incision is about the size of a pencil eraser.

So, if I put neosporin on it with a band aid, will it close on its own?


Is this because I vacuumed?

I will go back to the couch if it will close. It doesn't smell, but burns a little like a cut.

Thanks!

OUCH Deb. What's this about running the vacuum

Call your gyn. leave a message for him/her to call you AND then get back on the couch

Deb!! Don't you remember the HysterSister Motto...

No Vacuuming for as long as we can milk it!!

Seriously...Girl, please call your doctor. I know you are feeling better but can you imagine getting an infection that will only prolong your recupperation time! It isn't worth it!

Blessings to you!
