Hi Vrae! Thanks! I tried the paper tape, my mother-in-law brought me some. It still irritates me. The doctors office told me to remove the steri-strips and put bacitracin on. All of the sites have been oozing big time, especially the front one. Because any tape bothers me, I put the gauze pads on and then put on a tank top to hold them in place and then a t-shirt over that. I have changed clothes four times from this afternoon until now. For bedtime, I put like six doubled layers of gauze on the front incision, a dry tank and tee...this was half hour ago and it is already soaking thru. My sister-in-law is a nurse so I called her earlier today and she said if the oozing is clear and there is no blood, it is ok. I think one of the stitches popped last night on the thoracic incision. Tonight it hurts and is burning.

I have never had incisions//surgical sites ooze like this and I have had a lot of surgeries. I just don't know what to make of this. All I know is that I am fed up! NOTHING goes right. I went to a neurosurgeon so it would be better this time...thinking it was not a good idea...I don't know.

Well, I gotta go change this gauze again
