a bit of excitement here tonite. my surgeon told me to watch for any swelling and if it started to hurt to let him know. well, i have had some swelling, but no pain. around 7:00, i went to take a bath and noticed that the incision where the tumor had been was very swollen and stretched so much my skin was shiny. i had sid look at it and he said i would be fine until tomorrow when i see dr. hagan again for a check-up. i got in the tub and a few minutes later i look down and see blood pouring into the tub. i yelled for sid. he said everything was okay, it was dark red and probably an abcess. we called my surgeons call service and a doctor called back and suggested i hang over the sink and let the blood drain out. i did and eventually it slowd down and finally stopped. sid put a new bandage on and then about an hour later, i looked down and my shirt has a big bloody spot on it. sid cut off the shirt and now i am re-bandaged and hoping for no more bleeding! thanks for listening. love jennifer
