Oh no! Sick before surgery

[mismatched 24]

Hi all,

I'm scheduled for surgery Monday morning (8/31) and I woke up today feeling miserable. Sore throat, cough, achy and tired.

Wondering if I should call the nurse today or give this a day or two to clear. I do not want to risk surgery if there's any chance of infection in my body but what's the deal if it's just a virus??

Call doc. I had a UTI right before surgery, got on antibiotics, told surgeon right away, and they said surgery should be fine, and it was, but you really should tell them

Yes call today see what they want to do. If it is a simple cold, you should be fine by Monday.

Let them know... Take 3 times the normal amount of Vitamin C spread out throughout the day and rest as much as you can. Good luck for Monday!!
