Pam, I feel like a scatter brain. I forgot to answer some of your questions.

My husband didn't have infection. For several weeks he had been holding his right side and when I asked him about it he would always say it was nothing or that he was fine. Just before his surgery he had bouts of belching, nausea,& other stomach issues. Because the gall bladder was enlarged the resulting surgery was a little more than the usual laparoscopy procedure. It required more time under anesthesia and an additional incision. A three hour or less surgery took 5 hours. He is fine now thankfully.

The chamomile wraps were used for compression and to sooth the burning that accompanies cellulitus and the itching that accompanies the gravitational eczema. Exterior wraps were used to hold the chamomile wraps in place and because they are messy..They served their purpose but I hope to never have to wear them again because they are hot and after a couple of days they itch.I could sleep at night with them. I am grateful that they helped my condition.

I think I answered everything now. Miss you and hope you are doing well.
