I was pretty pissed when I called the L&D of the hospital that did my Csection and they told me "go to the ER." My doctor is out this week bc she had surgery but I was angry because THEY did my surgery, and they're going to send me to ER? Anyhow....
The ER said that I should take Keflex,a stronger antibiotic, and follow up with my OB 'asap.' My incision staples were removed only 2 days after my surgery and I'm wondering if this was too soon. They put Steri-strips over the incision when removing staples. The strips on the left side are all about to come off bc of the oozing/blood drainage. They did say when they applied the strips on 3-19, that they should "fall off on their own or you can take them off if they don't fall off by a week" which should be today. However I am hesitant to take them off for fear the incision will pop open. After reading horror stories on Dr. Google, I am feeling sicker than before and hope that none of those stories happen to me.
I am venting but also looking for any advice if something similar to this happened to you. Thanks for reading! And excuse my siggy - it won't update no matter how many times I try.
