Infernored 5 Posted March 19, 2011 I am all set for my surgery on Tuesday and I am very excited, but for the past few days I've had a head cold with runny nose and coughing. I'm determined that I will get better before tuesday since I've had this since monday. I'm just taking dayquil. Has this happened to anybody else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Disney 20 Posted March 19, 2011 The day I flew out to San Diego then on to Mexicali, when my DH and daughter were seeing me off, my daughter had a very wet cough, stuffy nose, etc. I just knew I would get sick and not have my surgery, but for some reason, it held off till I got home. So, I have it now, and it is almost gone. So mine really only lasted a week. Hopefully you will be ok, too! Good Luck!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Infernored 5 Posted March 19, 2011 It seems everyone is getting sick lately! I think it's because we had a day or two of mild temperatures and then it's crap again. Well, it's been 6 days so far. I am taking today off of work to recoup since I don't want to creep out my patients with my coughing and boogery nose. lol I am keeping positive. This is the first time I'm actually looking forward to summer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sunshine6855 1 Posted March 20, 2011 Happening to me right now. My surgery is scheduled tomorrow and I started with those symptoms yesterday. Guess I will get some dayquil when I go get my gas x latter today. I am flushing my sinuses 2x day in hopes of preventing it from getting worse.

Infernored 5 Posted March 21, 2011 Yeah, I'm keeping up on my dayquil until tonight. I feel alot better than I did over the weekend so I feel better. Stressing out over it probably didn't help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Infernored 5 Posted March 21, 2011 I just took Dayquil and Theraflu. Hot brothy Soups and tea seemed to help too. Same here my date is April 4th and came down with a Cough and sore throut.
