I do hope your daughter is right! All the very best for 15th

unfortunately my daughter wasn't right the transplant due on the 15th was canceled due to the material being contaminated, next date 22 March.
fingers crossed!

Oh, Sheila - I was so sure you'd be OK this time! Fingers and toes crossed for you for the March date. All the very best.

Had a phone call from the hospital on Friday they have suitable material but it won't last until the 22 March so my op date has been brought forward to the 15th looks like it might go ahead this time

[Sheila_e]

Had my 4th Transplant on the 15th all looking good so far. Back to the hospital on Tuesday for a check up.

[Anne Klepacz]

So glad it finally happened after all the cancellations. All the very best for Tuesday and for good healing.

Thank you Anne. Just back from the hospital mixed bag of news. There are inflammation cells and it hasn't healed as well as it should have.
So i am now on steroids orally and drops plus chloramphenicol cream for a week, if not improvement then they will put a membrane on to help with the healing.

Can I ask what that is and what it involves?

Sheila

[Anne Klepacz]

Sorry, Sheila, haven't heard of this so can't help. Hopefully the extra medication will do the trick. And I'm sure they'll explain about the membrane if that is needed - they'll need your informed consent before doing anything!

[Sheila_e]

Thank Anne I will post the information about the Membrane procedure if i need it, it might be helpful for someone else.

Phew no second op needed the transplant has started to heal, so no op just continuing with the eye drops and steroids
