My incision became infected also before I left the hospital. I was also running a fever when I was discharged. When I went to get the staples out, a few days later, my incision splayed open and I was rushed to the ER via ambulance from the doctors office. I was put on IV therapy, and the incision was packed. Finally, after about 5 days of this, I was taken to surgery where it was all cleaned out and sewn shut. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks after having my first born son. To this day, 15 yrs later, I have doubt as to whether or not my doctor was competent, seeing as though she knew I was infected, with fever, before I left the hospital after delivering. I also had the foul odor and drainage. It was the worst thing I have ever been through.
