hadouni 301 Posted January 3, 2012 I came down with a double ear infection over the holidays (probably the after effects of a cold earlier in December) but I called the surgeon's office today and let them know about it and they said as long as I wasn't experiencing any fever I was ok to stick to my surgery date. I'll be finishing up a 10-day run of antibiotics the day before surgery but I guess that's ok. I'm glad not to have to put off surgery but a little worried at the same time.

lkcraig316 4 Posted January 4, 2012 You should be fine by then. I feel for you. I had ear infections as a child and I have had a few as an adult. One of the most painful things. Get well soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hadouni 301 Posted January 4, 2012 Thanks! It seems to have turned a corner over last night. I still have the "plugged ears" sensation but it doesn't hurt when I put my head down any more. I talked to my insurance case nurse too and she said the same- as long as I wasn't experiencing any fever or worsening symptoms I'd be fine to go ahead.
