So I wake up at 5 AM or thereabouts to go to the bathroom. And I checked my incision from my hernia just out of curiousity. I hadn't checked it in a few days. Wanted to see if I was healing etc. Well I saw that it had opened up a bit. Not a lot. Maybe about a millimeter or to. Just a small hole. But me--being the paranoid hypochondriac I am--freaked out. I had my panic attacks I get where I throw up etc. I was thinking I had a serious infection and was going to need to go through another surgery or something terrible. So I go wake up my dad to see if he could take me to the doctor. Well it's 5 AM. Not like we can make an appointment. And even I knew it wasn't worth going to the ER for. So we waited and at 8 he called the surgeon's office. The nurse finally called back (we got voice mail when we called before) and said that it's a normal thing. I didn't speak to her, so I didn't get to ask my five billion and five questions (Did I mention I'm fascinated by all things medical? ) about what's going on. But my dad said that what the nurse said is that it's normal, especially when the incision is glued. And the opening is letting things drain out (sounds more disgusting than it really is) and it's normal during the healing process. She said all I have to do is check it regularly to be sure it isn't worsening and take my temperature (to be sure I'm not having a serious infection) and put a bandaid and some antibiotic ointment on it. So it's nothing major. But it sure scared the piss outta me at 5 AM. I'm such a baby. But I'll be fine.

Hope all ya'll are ok.
