I had an appointment today, and the physician assistant thought my incision looked a little red. I just noticed the redness today after my shower, so if it truly is infected, it was caught early. I am so glad I had an appointment already scheduled, because I doubt I would have called the office about it at this stage. I didn't know physician assistants could write prescriptions, but obviously they can. Is that relatively new? The doctor got called over to the hospital before he could see me, so my visit was in the PA's hands. He felt comfortable letting me leave the clinic without seeing the doc, and I agreed. So now it's an antibiotic 4 times a day for a week and then a re-check next Friday. I really am getting tired of so many meds, clinic visits and physical therapy sessions (not to mention the pain and stiffness).
