So, MG, it vents through the normal gas-venting hole then? (LOL)
The rash is more generalised, I actually wondered if it might be more of a heat-rash since it's more in the creases and less around the actual wound-sites. Am watching the wound sites very carefully (had a wound infection after my C/S so know what to look for) but they all seem ok. They are covered with hypafix AND tegaderm, but there's no oozing underneath, and they're not hot to touch or discoloured or swollen or anything.
Don't really want to go to the dr, they are often very non-specific when it comes to rashes and I suspect it could be a waste of a trip, kwim? Will see how it looks in the morning, though, and reconsider then.
ETA - just wanted to add I would normally ask these q's at discharge but I was transferred to a non-surgical ward before I was discharged and they didn't seem to have a clue about anything including my meds which got LOST somewhere in transit (!) Would it be worth ringing the nurses on the surgical ward for a chat - they were very helpful and kind while I was there, kwim.
