Infection UNDER transplant

[space_cadet]

So, saturday evening I was watching (well ok listening) to Xfactor, my right eye begun to burn, went to the mirror n sure enough bright red, as the hour went on more n more sensitive to the light, my head said "this isnt right" n rung a friend n went up the road to a&e. a&e were superb, shame the duty optom who came out was clearly unimpressed at his saturday evening being disturbed, he paid little attention to what I was saying and decided "your eye is just very dry use more hylo tears".

By mid morning today I was in a eye patch and sunglasses still incredibly photo sensitive and all drops burning like a *****

Went up to eye casualty and got informed after 2 seperate people checked my eye "youve a infection under the graft take oxyal and we will see you tomorrow" I asked is the graft looking clear tho as in no sign of rejection and got told "it has white patches on it" and sent on my way.

So back I will go tomoro at 330pm. As I type this eye is twitchy and driving me nuts, praying this isnt the start of yet another rejection episode.

Yes, keeping everything crossed for you Lea

If you don't mind me asking, as I wasn't around when it all happened with your graft, can you tell me why they did the full-depth PK rather than the DALK (sorry if you're fed up of reciting the whole tale already...)

Best wishes
