Just got a call from my surgeons office. When I had my pre-op appt they did a test in my nose for a Staph Infection... I guess it's very common to have in your nose and is harmless generally, but if you have surgery and were to rub your nose, then touch your surgery site, you can cause the bad kind of staph infection. SO they did the test and I just got the call that I do indeed have a Staph Infection. Didn't see that coming! So, they sent an antibiotic to the pharmacy that I need to use for 5 days before surgery and more Bactoshield (a special soap you use twice while showering before surgery) which I have to now use for 5 days before surgery now instead of just two. Not a big deal really, could be worse and it doesn't affect my surgery day at all. Thank goodness!
