As I am on my death bed with man flu it got me thinking about immune suppression. Came to mind when reading the news on the synthetic cornea. What sort of things do you have to take after a 'normal graft' and what if any special precautions do you take

Re: immune suppression
The 'normal' regime after a graft is frequent doses of dexamethasone or prednisalone (both steroids delivered in eye drops), and chloramphenicol (an antibiotic).
Hope your man-flu goes away soon. In the meantime, I hope there is somebody there who can keep you plied with lots and lots of fluids.
