I'm so sorry Lillian, it sounds like a nightmare scenario. I have never heard of anything like that happing but I just wanted to say how sorry I am.

I had wound separation, twice. It lasted 12 weeks. I had to remain on antibiotics and have the incision cleaned and packed everyday at the Dr office. I do not have OVCA though, I don't know if what happened to me is roughly the same? It is extremely frustrating, so sorry you and your mom (?) are going through this. Hope things get better soon.

I've heard of wound separation ... and they take a long time to heal, but they do heal. I can't answer to the fluid. Where is the rehab, is it part of Moffitt.

My heart and prayers go out to you ...
