During week four I had a bit of an issue with a small place in the incision. At first there was just a red place about the size of a pencil eraser. Then a small place opened and began to drain just a little. I was concerned that it might be infected. I could squeeze it and a bit of bloody pus ran out. I went to see the OS. He said he thought it was just a stitch that might be working its way out. He put antibiotic ointment and a bandage on it, and prescribed a 7-day round of oral antibiotics. At the end of the 7 days the place had pretty much cleared up. There is just a very small scab left. The OS still thinks it was a stitch. I am feeling really good, and I am getting around very well.
