So I go to change everything last night, get it all off and realize the Saran Wrap type film the nursing supervisor had put on over my incision under my flange has caused a severe rash. And my open incision looks worse than ever. I am not healing there. I have been on antibiotics for almost a week now with no results. I will call my nurse as soon as I can. Why they had to put an incision under where my flange goes I have no idea.
