Post-Graft advice needed.
Posted: Wed 09 Jun 2021 12:32 pm
Hey everyone, I hope you're all well. On Monday I had the graft in my left eye and I ended up staying overnight due to other health issues, yesterday I was discharged and I didn't see the consulaltant a single time post-op despite the wards best efforts to get hold of him.
I've had no post op care and I have no idea what I should or shouldn't expect or what I can or cannot do. I'm completely lost and worried and I didn't start the eye drops for rejection prevention until over 24 hours after the operation. So I'm very concerned. I had DALK and I only know this because it's on my prescription letter.
Can anyone here help me? What should I be doing? My eye is aching and constantly watering, should I be worried about that? Should I be trying to use my eye or do I keep it closed as much as possible?
I'm sorry if all of this is basic stuff but I've been left to work it all out for myself because I've had no help from the consultant, trying to get hold of him is lile trying to get blood from a stone atm. I just want to stop stressing
Thank you.
