Pink Fluid

Got a little scare on Friday. Instead of light yellow, the fluid I drained at work was light pink or peach colored. This never happened before so I Googled and it seems to be blood in the fluid. That night, the 15L drain bag was also pinkish.

Fortunately, the color returned to “normal” the following night. I think a small blood vessel burst in the abdominal wall and leaked some blood into the fluid. Usually it goes away after a few days.
