stringyeye, I tried to look in this thread but I could not find the info I am looking for.

Would you kindly share with us what steps you took pre-op and post-op to minimize the risks of infection?

1- did they take swab cultures for mrsa and vrsa from your skin?
2- did you use any anti-septics, antibiotics etc before your op?
3- what sort of anti-septic techniques your surgeon used to sterilize your eye, I guess iodine solution and?
4- did they measure your immune status by looking at t-cell count and other immune markers before undergoing surgery? what about esr and c-reactive protein?
5- you developed bleeding, were you on warfarin before surgery?
6- did you change/sterilize pillows/bed sheets/curtains?

I hope none of these questions are personal and I hope you will be willing to share most if not all of the info with us.

thanks
My god....im as scared as anyone else of an infection, but isnt the above just overkill? :\
