well a few days ago i was working on my truck, i went to lift my rollbar into thetruck when i fealt my incision tear or something, i couldnt see the problem

so didnt think too much of it, next morning it was swollen where they had done the surgery last month i about paniced, went to the doc thursday it was almost unbearable, she said i had "herniated the incision" and a "hemotoma" had developed

now i dont know what that all means but it hurt like hell, she gave me more antibiuotics that im taking religiously, well came home and about 11 last night i had to go

as i sat down it ruptured and spilled about a cup of blood and puss looking stuff onto and into the toilet

i cleaned it as good as i could with the knowledge of that sort of stuff i have and went to bed, after getting in bed i started feeling

but never got sick but i fealt flushed and weak

i called the doctor this morning and they said if anything seemed to get worse to come to the ER

so far everything is good, all the infection seemed to have drained out last night, and this morning the "site" isnt sore now so hopefully this is a good thing

They would have told you to come in right away, but they're so tired of seeing your ugly

they're just hoping you'll die. Not me though...if you kick off, who'll bring me parts?

Oooooooooooooohhhhhhh, that's tmi glen! That sucks bad, hopefully it heals well and all. That's the sucky thing about being laid up, you get bored and feel like you hafta accomplish something when you first start feeling decent, then something like this happens. Good luck with the healing

What she means is that the incision has opened from the inside (herniated the incision), and now there is a collection of blood under the skin (hematoma). Basically, this means that the scar tissue was not strong enough yet, and separated (probably when you strained to lift the rollbar). What happened when you got home was a spontaneous drainage due to pressure build up (You popped a gasket). Since you saw what looked like puss, suggests there is an infection still brewing in there, so putting you back on antibiotics was a good call. Having an infection in the tissue can delay healing and developing tensile strength of the tissue. If your still feeling

, or if you're weak/tired, you may want to get into the ER, just so they can make sure you're not still bleeding or septic.

Being this far out from your surgery date, they will not close it back up, but will allow it to heal from the inside. (called secondary intention closure), which can be a long and tedious process. It is very important that you keep it clean, and change the dressing frequently.

Hope all goes well, let me know if you need anything.

Thanks Eric, they never closed it after the surgery, the 4 days i spent in the hospital they changed the packing twice a day, 1st time it was almost 2 feet long or that packing "ribbon" they use, then they sent a nurse to the house for another week till the packing wouldnt stay

HOWEVER, when in the hospital it HURT LIKE HELL MAN, when they repacked it, i screamed and tried to eat the mattress every time they did it, but when they nurse came to the house she didnt try to shove the qtip packing tool

all the way to my nose so i didnt scream , well, not as loud anyway
which was a blessing or so i thought, maybe because i screamed she didnt pack it good enough

OH and guess what i passed PART of a kidney stone last night

and yes it HURTS LIKE HELL MAN

left kidney , left flank, left nut

GERM MAKE IT STOP

It's been suggested that BEER is good for kidney stones (not really, but it sounds good in theory), 'cause your hydrating yourself, inhibiting ADH (Anti-diuretic hormone), and the alcohol helps with pain control.

Best I can do from 2000 miles away. Hope you feel better. I'll try to get you a hottie nurse to help out a bit...

Damn it Glenn take it easy bud! At this rate you better make sure you got your burial plot picked out! Kick back drink some beers (not while on antibiotics) and enjoy the simpler things for a while!

When I was 17 I had appendicitis that was the worst case the Dr had ever seen. He was amazed I even walked in upright on my own! My appendix had ruptured on Friday, went to the ER on Sunday they sent me home with what they said was stomach cramps! (they failed to look at my white blood count) And on Tuesday, dad took me in and demanded that I get looked at right now! Well, my appendix was lower than normal, and they did exploratory surgery (I was cut from the belly button down to almost !!) to just see what was wrong, and as soon as they cut me open they new! I was full of puss, and they said within 8 hours, my body would have started to shut down! I lost 50#'s in less than a week! And it took me 3 months to get to where I could walk across the street to check the mail without having to stop for 5 minutes to catch my breath! It took me a year to get to where I was health wise before I got sick. I had a nice drain tube for about 2 weeks hanging out of my belly! And the incision still bothers me to this day! I have to wear my belt buckle to the side because of it!

So take it easy, we like you! If you need anything heavy moved call someone, because your not gonna get better overnight! It's gonna take some time to get back to where you want to be physically!

The EXACT same thing happened to me while I was in the Army. Dr. said if I had waited one more day I'd would have died!!!

They only used two stitches fo a 9 inch incision!!!

So take it easy Glen. $Beer Chug\'n$

thanks Cheesemaker, yea i had the ruptured colon in 1997, so i know exactly how you fealt, it was 24 hours befor i got to the ER in Littlerock, when i walked into the ER the head nurse looked up at me from her desk said "OH

" and took off in a run to the back,
another 24 hours "testing" when they started prepping me for a colonoscopy, (camera up the

)
then the "golightly" crap i had to drink flushed all my

into my stomach cavity, even though i had been given more morphine than "was legal to give" i was screaming in pain, they sent me to emergency surgery, they cut me from my breastbone to Mr Winkie

and had to remove all my intestines and clean them, then put them back in,

that was the 1st of 3 major stomach surgeries, the second was to remove the poo bag from my side, the 3rd was 2 years later when i was working and tried to catch a 70 pound steel concrete shute and ripped the insicion open, that was the 3rd

a couple years later i met all my friends here

i need to find the picture my mom took of my belly a month after the surgery, they sent me home on a friday afternoon and the tornado that leveled half of Arkadelphia hit that saturday morning

oh and this just in, my kidney hasnt hurt since saturday so the prayers definitely help

but my

is sore again, $I\'m Down$ i cant help it i had to get outside $I\'m Down$

i mowed the yard (about 3 acres) yesterday and this morning it was swollen again
