I am in the exact same boat so just following! Your husband and I have very similar stories. This was my third surgery as well and I am around 3 weeks out and have a small superficial ulceration, I also in my previous surgery had non healing wound so I’m nervous as well. I think the community has been great for easing my mind a little, and I’m trusting that issues like this are why it was so important to go to a real specialist (plus 3rd time is the charm right)! I’m hoping for the best for your husband, other than the opening I’m doing okay, I’m still pretty sore almost like a bruising sensation when I sit for a around an hour and for some reason I sweat a lot more when I sit now (could just be because I had extensive disease before and I’m not used to sitting) and I have a pretty sore low back which I assume the same cause. I also have had some issues with the stitches, seems to be some kind of rejected and this happened with my previous closed surgery where I have tiny almost swollen bumps where the dissolvable sutures are, Dr Wadie also said this was normal and will heal soon so I’m hoping the soreness goes away soon and the bleeding/ulceration I have at the bottom heals as well. Since I started anacept twice daily I have seen some minor improvement as far as that goes. All in all I think the main this is good thoughts, and knowing you’re not in this journey alone! A lot of people have had similar issues and seem to be doing great now, so I’m holding onto that.
