- I woke up in a wet bed yesterday morning. A lot of puss/fluid drained out of the surgery incision site on my back. I called the neurosurgeon’s office and they asked me to send pictures. That’s not the easiest thing to do, to take good-lit pictures of your back. The PA seemed pretty concerned and asked me to come in first thing in the morning and was calling in a prescription. And, as a precaution, do not drink or eat anything after midnight in the small chance they need to take me in for an even deeper look.
