If you have had recent surgery, call your doctor NOW for instructions. If you are planning surgery, call you surgeon on Monday.

If you have more questions, write back anytime.

Sorry if you got some messages about a hemorrhage. I confused you with someone else.

You ask your retina surgeon how to care for yourself.
