Neck leaking !

Hi, I would contact your team. If there is fluid still draining they need to look at it. 

Agreed.  My 2 dissections healed cleanly and quickly.

Hi Peter How long does it usually take for the scars to heal up if all being well please 

I had my first neck dissection on 6th Nov 2019 and was swimming with Manatees in Florida on the 26th November   This was with full clinical agreement.

I went on to go on the rides in Orlando the following week and learned that they were OK to do.  However, following my second dissection, although it healed just as quickly, I had more arm and neck trouble.  Thus, when going to Florida in November 2021 I learned that my neck no longer felt good on the roller coasters.  Small price to pay!

A roundabout way of saying a rapid recovery and quite good with an active life after the event.  Hope that helps.

Hi  Peter that has cheered me up  really  as one usually thinks the worse of these things. Should I be rethinking my work life I wonder if this is going to affect my movements. I suppose I will have to wait and see what the outcome is  Well this time next week I will be under the knife .The phones been ringing  for work but I dont feel like getting stressed out to much before op.  Many Thanks  

I had double neck dissection and they ended up putting in extra drains after the op (but still whilst in hospital). I am still battling with swelling (lymphoedema) but otherwise the drainage worked. Hope it all goes well.
