Re: ? Oh Yeah/ Serous fluid

[Guest guest]

Since Doc said he was busy.....

Serous fluid is the clear liquid that separates from blood when it is

allowed to clot. It's the watery fluid that carries all the blood

cells, etc., around in your body.

WOW, Scarlett was right! Wonder where she picked up

that bit of knowledge. Is there a problem with it?

Thanks Claudine

Take Care, Connie

3 of the incisions are leaking now, not as bad as the

1st one. Looks like the staples are pulling out.

No, I don't THINK there is a problem with it, but I don't know

anything about gallbladder surgery or what to expect afterwards. But

I have a sneaking suspicion that MAYBE you are up doing to much.

Maybe you need to go to bed and rest a bit?????

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF!!!

When I had my surgery on my leg for melanoma I had a tube draining the melanoma

incision and the groin incision. The fluid that came out was mostly clear, with

a bit of red now and then. It looked wierd but it was ok. If you have

questions with that you should ask yer doc to be certain.

[Guest guest]

Thanks Pat,

This is now a yellowish tinge and tacky. How long

did it drain? How much? Whenerver I change the

dressing in the little bit it takes me it will have

run down my leg. They told me to use Maxi-Pads, it

fills one in a hour and a half. It seems a bit slower

but not really that much. I went to the Drs office

Monday but he wasn't in. I see him Friday. I don't

know him I think I met him we talked a couple of

minutes. Asked him if hr could look at my Liver and

he dais yes if he was able too.

I had the drain in for several days. He wanted to keep the area draining even

after I got home but I was kinda squeamish about it so he said ok and took the

drain out but warned me I may need it reopened and drained if I am not healing

well. Luckily things went ok.

Thanks Pat, I appreciate your response.

Hi Connie,

When I had my hysterectomy the doctor put in two drain tubes

coming out of my abdomen, which were attached to these things I can

never remember the name of because I took one look at them and called

them grenades after that. Anyway, these grenade looking things kept

filling up with fluid and had to be emptied. Once, about 3 days after

the surgery, I had horrible pressure in my abdomen for several hours.

It was so painful I was in tears, but the nurses assumed it was gas

and had me walking (or trying to get me to walk) and giving me med

for gas, which didn't help at all. Then those things began filling

up with fluid so fast, I or the nurse was having to empty them about

every 30 minutes. For some reason fluid really built up and wasn't

draining. Then it stated draining fast! At day 5 my doctor sent me

home after checking the fluid to make sure it was NOT urine (because

there was so much of it), which it wasn't. But when I asked him how

long those tubes stayed in he said normally they were taken out

within 3 or 4 days post surgery - when the draining stopped. Mine

were in for two weeks! Fluid just drained and drained and drained! It

was nothing dangerous, just odd and unusual. The point is a LOT of

fluid can drain out and it doesn't mean something is wrong.

Especially if you had ascites and you have that fluid draining out

too. Now, if it turns bloody and you start feeling weak, dizzy,

feverish, etc., then that might be something to worry about. I think

just keeping it as clean and dry as possible is about all you can do.

Hi Connie

I will feel better myself when you see the Doc on Friday. Seems like

your leaking quite a bit lol. Remember Connie, when you had the

emergency surgery, you suffered a major trauma to your whole

body....your whole system....physically and mentally. It's going to

take time to heal. I do hope you are resting a lot, laying down and

taking it very easy.

I went to the Doc and got the skin cancer cut out from my face

(chin)....I now have 4 big, ugly, black stitches on my chin....almost

half a face lift? lol. I had to take the sample to the lab for

analysis. Doc wants me to keep the stitches in for 10 days, or until

next Thursday....be sure that I'm not going out in public looking like a

beat up version of Mike Tyson. Had plans for the weekend but cancelled

them, I look hideous....even with the bandaid on it LOL. Oh well, when

it heals...make up can work wonders.

Take care Connie

Thanx Alley.....the Doc says it wasn't melanoma....there are 3 different

kinds of skin cancer. The doc thinks mine was basal cell

carcinoma....which doesn't spread and is not too serious. Once it's cut

out, it's hopefully cured. *praying*.
