Laurie,

This is a possibility with me at the moment. I have a very painful

area along my incision that has been cut open 4 times now. The last

time they used this incisional site was last September. The doctors

can feel a ridge there but don't know what it is. Possibly air

trapped, but they said if it was closer to when I had the surgery,

and I was showing strong signs of infection, they would have deduced

it to be an abcess, but they say if it is they can't understand how

it is when i've not been showing any signs of infection.

We will find out on July 14th. I have been running temps of around

100 ever since that surgery, so whether that has anything to do with

it, I don't know. My usual temp was always around 96.7 so this 100

is a horrible feeling for me and I still can't get used to it.
