Thanks for bumping this. I had the surgery last Friday. It was day surgery. Arrived at 5:30 AM and was home by noon. It went very well. The main difference this go was no dressing and no stitches or staples. Just a sort of glue or doily looking "stuff" over the whole incision. Pain has been minimal, mainly when I sit down or stand up. Spasticity is controlled in fact I think I'm moving a little more balanced. Thanks for yout thoughts.
Well, I have an addendum to my pump story:The incision got infected so they've give me 2 weeds of antibiotics and if that doesn't clear it up the pump may need to come out. So it's a waiting game. Of course if I spike a fever or the incision degrades the surgery will be done at that point. BTW, Bob, I've always worn a binder after my other surgeries. I felt like it gave me a little security from dislodging the pump while it healed.
Sorry to hear about the infection. I hope it gets cleared up soon. I know what you say about feeling things are more secure with the binder. My last pump replacement, the binder helped keep the staples from moving around. I was so happy when they came out.
