Since my husband's bypass surgery Tuesday I have been able to spray cs on the chest wound multiple times each day and there isn't any redness or puckering. The arm they took a vein out of has had a bandage and I wasn't able to spray it and they took the dressing off yesterday. When you compare the two spots it's remarkable how much better the chest healing is compared to the arm. I now am able to spray both. I am spraying his hands and nose multiple times daily. He also is using a paper towel dampened with cs to clean his eyes daily. So far he doesn't show any signs of bacterial infection. We have a friend down the hall (same hospital) that does have bacterial infection from surgery so we are trying to be very careful. The friend has been in the hospital since May 30 because of the infection.
