My visiting nurse called my OS and told him that I had draining on the bandage that she was concerned about, and then told me to call him. I told the OS on the phone that it was only about a teaspoon of clear yellow fluid on the bandage. He asked me come to his office today to see it.
Now right before I left, the visiting nurse said there is no redness or fever, so it's probably nothing to worry about--------however, she told my OS that there WAS redness! She was telling two different stories.
The visiting nurse then said to me "Guess what? Since you have drainage, your insurance company approved me to visit you 3 times a week!"
I got to the doctor and he looked and said that the incision looked perfect! Nothing wrong. It was painful driving to his office being only 6 days post op, and not taking Percocets so I could drive.
I think all of this was a manipulation by the visiting nurse so she could get my insurance company to approve 8 visits instead of one! What do you think?
