Incision hematoma burst!

Ewwww yuck!:eyes:

I went to the library today to get some reading material. I guess my pants rubbed a little to much on my incision and I had a small blister (hematoma) to come up. Ouch it was touchy! Later this evening it began to hurt worse. Within the course of 30 minutes, I watched it grow. Oh yeah! Freaky! Well I leaned back to rub some ointment (doc's orders) and it kept getting bigger, I put just a tiny bit of pressure on it and it burst all over my fingers. I know it sounds gross, but what a relief! Pain gone instantly! Now it's draining just a little. I put a pad over it to catch the drainage. Yep! Those sanitary napkins are good for something pot-hyst! LOL - Needless to say, I am not putting my butt into a pair of pants any time soon!

Added note. I say I'm doing what a good Princess should at 3 weeks. My DH and my two DSs say I am doing to much. Well....if that's what they think! They can continue pampering me! Ill take it a little more easy.

sorry to hear about your hematoma busting open but take good care of the hematoma so you do not get an infection and yes you do need to take care of your self and let the dh and dss take care of you

Oh nooo Trina. And you were doing so good!!
Happy you feel better now though.
Yeah, take all the pampering you can get! Hopefully you'll never get a chance quite like this again to get so much sympathy.
Just can't get away from those darn pads, can we? Hard habit to break!! LOL
We have resorted to wearing them on our bellies now!!

Here's wishing you a pad free tomorrow!!

All I wear around the house is one of those t-shirt nightgowns and panties. If I want to sit out side, I slap on some shorts with an elastic band & a t-shirt. Still no bra! tee hee hee - Like I want to go outside often in all this heat and humidity! Ugh!

I'm still doing pretty good. Thank you CarribeanBlue - It (hematoma) wasn't very big anyway. I've seen worse!


Fiddley dee....I forgot to comment on your "pad" remark!
Yep, I read on here that pads make good first aid usage.
