Necrotizing flesh

T's stump fell off today.... It started bleeding a bit on Wednesday night and it smelled awful. I tried to play cool and not worry too much since she's baby #3 and since we were going to see her doctor on Thursday morning for her 2-week check. Dr. O said that the stump looked fine and that it was probably going to fall off soon. She said the smell was just necrotizing flesh... and that it was fine.... Is it just me, or does it seem wrong to put the words necrotizing flesh and fine together?
