Jaye,

My father had this surgery, with PD, and it went quite well, and he healed quickly.

His surgeon used an operating room that was pretty sterile. It was like a sterile hood, where I do my lab work. They did it there because infection after surgery is a real possibility.

I don't know it it's standard to use this kind of operating room. Has your surgeon mentioned it?
I hope your room is one of the sterile ones.

Best wishes,
