        Thanks for your response. I called the Dr today he is off and spoke with his wonderful PA physicians Assistant. He said to stay off of it keep it wrapped take antibiotics and hope it does not open…Well I am a single mother paying all the bills and i have already been off work 2 weeks. I only had a week of vacation so this 2nd week is not paid. I really would love to get back to work I am a home care nurse so its not that bad.. but Im scared to death if it opens I am going to be in big trouble. It just seems like everyday I look at it it looks worse it looks redder and like there is a lot of Slough(dead tissue) from a nurses point of view 17 days after surgery it looks like a wound that is not healing πŸ™
