Andrea - sounds like your Mom has a hematoma - just as long as it has stopped bleeding internally she&#39;ll be just fine, it will look gross as it takes a long time for the body to absorb it.  I had one after abdominal surgery, but it was still bleeding after the stitched me up, so they had to go back in and stop the bleeding first.<br /><br />MaryLou - how are the new meds doing?  Are they helping you any?
