Hi Chris. Just read your response. Please don’t think it is just undo worry. I think your questions are legitimate I know I have similar thoughts even though our situations are different. Without going into great detail, I ended up with c-diff ( bacterial infection) after my surgery. I kept emailing my dr until he finally ordered the test which came back positive. If I hadn't advocated for myself, I may have still had it. So, better safe than sorry!!! Just saying........
