After 30 days of having my drain tube in,it came out today. At the same time we noticed a 2 inch section of incision (kind of a bloody blister). My PS drained it and told me it would probably drain more. Tonight when I was changing the bandage, I was pressing down and blood clots and blood came out for a good 10 mins. Now , it feels like it's hollow under the incision. What's happening and how do I help encourage healing? Should I keep tight compression? Should I not be active? Do I rest more?
