Hello again
Just a quick update from hospital visit yesterday- I have been booked in for a re graft for the 30/11, the hospital are still awaiting for test results from last weeks test. They are looking for the CPV virius.
At lest I now know where we are heading for. I need to maintain this current graft in its pressent condisition so remain on the steroids and have a combination of creams and drops.
Have to say the hospital have been excellent throughout what feels like a long process but is in fact only 2 months.

Well the good news is I don't have the CMV virus, am now on 2g cellcept and 40 mg of prednisolone daily, along with all the eye drops in readiness for the graft next week.
So fingers cross it will all go well
