Weirdness never stops. Husband had the operation on the 5th, discharged on Saturday the 13th (very strange discussion - do you want to go home or stay until Monday?).
Was reasonably ok, gradually eating a bit more, today some discharge from the wound - not blood, but not a clear liquid either, pinkish. Doesn’t look particularly evil, no other signs of infection, but obviously worrying.
Phoned “surgical secretary”, the only number we were given, they said go to GP. Took couple of hours to get the callback, they’ve asked for some photos of the wound and prescribed antibiotics. No offer of a nurse visit, nothing :(
So didn’t need this, just hope antibiotics get it under control, but what’s the next step if not? Can’t imagine going to A&E, what will he eat while we wait there.
We went to the surgical emergency unit yesterday, as the dressing started to fall apart and the nurse appointment is only on Monday.
They think it’s ok, the liquid thing apparently “happens”.
Spent half a day waiting there, and only took one bottle of Fresubin with us. :(
But on the positive side he had his first “eating out” meal - a jar of cottage cheese. 
Small but positive steps, hope he enjoyed the cheese and continues well on his recovery
