My surgeon decided to drain the infection site yesterday . A small incision at base of wound with local anaesthetic and a bit of squeezing and prodding ( I didn’t look )
He applied a gauze inside and a dressing on top . I stayed in last night and he had a look at it this morning and I can go home this afternoon. District nurses will call in on Tuesday and check it and change dressing.
Hopefully that is it now and I can get back to my road to recovery.
