Oh wow! My abscess definitely wasn’t as bad. One day when I got up to go the washroom a flood of liquidy blood literally exploded out of my abdominal incision line and went everywhere. It was pretty gross. Luckily I was still in the hospital and I had help around but it was the first time any of my incisions had gotten infected so I didn’t know what was happening. Plus with all the pain medication I was still on I didn’t feel any “warning pain”. Once I was discharged homecare came to pack my wound for months and now it’s just a deep scar. At the time my doc said I didn’t need a drain or antibiotics because the infection was draining on its own (and maybe because I was pregnant at the time).
I really hope someone can help you before Friday!
