One thing that surprised me in your post was that you said you are on blood thinners. My doc had instructions of "no anti-coagulants" for 14 days pre-surgery and ten days post-surgery. If your doc has okayed using blood thinners, maybe that is okay in your particular case but given your bleeding situation, I am just passing on the general rules another doc uses.
My cardiologist didn't want me to stop the blood thinners at all!
I stopped the night before and a few days after, but the stuff stays in your system for a while anyway. So I'm sure that is adding to my on going bleeding...
I get the feeling if I still have the weeping/bleeding next week when I see him, he'll toss in another stitch.
