When CB advised that I sleep with a pillow pressed against my stomach and do not hiccup, fart, cough, laugh or sneeze until I heal up.......I wished I had listened. I had some sinus drainage during the night which made me go into an involuntary coughing fit. Evidently I ripped the stitches out of the internal incisions which caused bleeding which in turn pooled up under the skin of my stomach which in turn exerted a lot of pressure on my wound which in turn put me in severe pain. I went back to the doc this morning and he drained the blood off to relieve the pressure and is seeing if it will still heal. If not healing..... back in he will have to go and make repairs.
I found out that he actually cut my navel completely out, pushed my intestine back through the hole where my navel was, inserted a mesh thingy that looks like a shuttlecock to seal it off and the re-stitched it all up. Just the thought of cutting my navel completely out makes me cringe :yuck:
