    I had stitches poking out on both boobs which is apparently normal, I just got out the bath and went to dry my scars… Had a look at one side and saw it looked swollen I pushed on it felt liquid. I’ve obviously broken the skin by applying pressure and pus has come out now I’m panicking because it is clearly infected. But it’s a Friday tomorrow so I don’t know whether to ring the nurse now to try and get an emergency appointment for tomorrow?
