No. This is now three weeks after the op and the battery site wasn't hurting till this morning and it's red, not around the stitches, but where the battery is. My back is oozing mike says, so if it's no better tomorrow I will call our local help line as the doctors are closed at weekends and I could go to hospital but they might even say we didn't do the operation here you will have to go to the one you did ... Which is a way away and a journey I don't really want to make. X x x x xx
