wound before you leave the center.
always clean your hands before and after caring for your wound. wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. don’t forget your wrists, palms, back of hands, thumbs and under the fingernails.
family and friends should clean their hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub before and after visiting you. if you do not see them clean their hands, please ask them to do so.
although pets provide great comfort, they carry a lot of germs and should not sleep in your bed while you are recovering.
make sure to eat plenty of healthy food and drink lots of fluids
