I had a pain pump implanted on 3/4/08 and my incision is still not closed.  Went in a week ago last Wedn and my doc took out 131 cc seromas.  Went back this last Tues and she removed another 134cc's.  I am so ready to move on in my life but keep having setbacks.  i will see tomorrow Fri what she draws out.  Me too I feel old.  Had 4 failed back surgeries last year.  The pump help at least 50%.  I just hope my body does not reject this.  Most of my incision pain has stopped and feels even better when fluid is removed. ~~ patzinpc
