OMG I'm Sick Before Surgery!

[CatLady0626 45]

....my surgery is scheduled for Friday,January 18 and I've got sore throat, painful and productive coughs, and possibly a fever (will check when I get home from work tonight).

I'm fairly certain that if my surgery get pushed back I am going to kill my husband, who so lovingly shared his germs with me! Okay, not kill, but I will be quite disappointed :-(

If this thing doesn't blow over by Monday I will be calling my surgeon to see what to do! Everyone be careful and make your sick friends and family go away if you are nearing your surgery date!!! Lol

So sorry to hear you are sick, but trust me, you want the cough gone before surgery! Best wishes.

Sending good thoughts & prayers for a super speedy recovery! Calling your surgeon is a good idea.

Thanks ladies. As a hospital employee, I have had my flu shot, but they aren't always effective. I'm hoping this all goes away quickly!

I've been worried b/c reports coming out that they might be cancelling some procedures b/c of flu epidemic.

I have a procedure coming up on Jan 23, yikes!!!

I was sick a week before surgery and called my surgeon. I got an antibiotic 5 days presurgery and had a slight cough the day of, but since they give you IV antibiotics I was 100% the day after surgery, just made sure to do extra breathing exercises to make sure it didn't come back. Don't lose hope!

Thanks everyone! I'm feeling okay, no fever today so far. Thinking positively!

I had a bad respiratory infection before surgery and we just pushed it out a month. Call your Dr. you might go on an antibiotic or just wait a bit. Good luck to you.
