rpaniagua77 0 Posted November 10, 2005 I feel a whole lot better today. But I do have some redness and irritation around my incision. It feels tender. I called the doc and did not get a call back. I will definitely have to follow up tomorrow because my sister and mom looked at it and said it doesn't look well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
