Had A Lap Cholecystectomy Last Monday 2 Weeks Ago. Had

Had a lap cholecystectomy last monday 2 weeks ago. Had bad abd cramping and rigid abdomen the following g Tuesdays evening g, went to ER where I had surgery we'd morning and was admitted observation. Thursday morning couldn't take the pain anymore told nursing staff to tell the Dr something was really wrong (I'm a nurse at the facility I was at) they did a hb scan since my CT scan just showed irrigation solution in my abd the day before in ER (COME TO FIND OUT IT WAS BILE THE WHOLE TIME) and had a bile leak from go knew where at that time bc the surgeon was clueless. Got transferred after and unsuccessful ERCP at the local hsp. So I went to AGH last Thursday evening, they were waiting for me when I got there. Decided pain management until morning when a specific surgeon could be there at 7am sat morning, monitored vitals and cbc q2 - 4 hrs thru the evening. So Friday went for ERCP met surgeon before OR and he stated I needed to see a surgeon right away for vile peritonitis due to my appearance and abdominal assessment. So he did the ERCP I spiked a temp during end of procedure and had a consult with surgeon once I was out of recovery. She did an abd wash and inserted two Jp drains. I started feeling better since Friday slowly, and have had only clear yellowish thin drainage into my drains. Until today started feeling extra fatigued abdominal muscles sore thought maybe I did to much up and down yesterday. I just went to the bathroom and noticed a pulling pinching sensation around my umbilical area and just said oh and palates and felt nothing different externally. Other than some increase in muscular abd pain and that feeling by my umbilical area I noticed that I think I'm jaundice again. Don't know what to do and don't want to let it go if I should seek emergency medical care, I write everything off being a nurse but having bile peritonitis the last time I wrote off belly pain as gas pain, I just don't wanna die due to complications r/t sepsis or something I could of been a better nurse about.
