okay, ive had sutures for a week for an injury... been depressed, haven't kept up with cleaning it well enough i guess. started noticing minor pain a couple days ago, and some redness last night (not stripes, just around one suture knot) like its irritated, redness might be spreading some, and there was a lil discharge tonight. pretty sure its infected.
problem: it is currently 11pm. i am going out of town tomorrow, with my mother (driving). will be back sunday evening probably. idk what to do? i really do not want to have to deal with an ER or urgent care in the other city, and i would have to talk to my mom to do that anyway. but idk if it can wait til sunday evening either... my stomach has been iffy for a couple days and just haven't felt well in general, but weather is weird and allergies are awful right now, so probably not related... crap.

It was a little yesterday, but not any worse since. I sent a pic to a friend who has medical exp. She said as long as I keep it clean and put triple antibiotic ointment on it, it would be fine to wait til this evening, when I get home.

ER doc think it was just irritation from the sutures. They removed them, and the redness has gone down. Looks more like the pinkness of a recent scar now... and it's not hurting like it was. So yay.
