[kgarrettsatx 109]

Im freaking out. My surgery is on tuesday july 26 and i wome up this morning barely able to talk due to a sore throat!!! No fever Hoping it is just raw from drainage??? I NEVER get sick and will be devestated if it causes my surgery to cancel. Then i cant help but wonder hmmm am i not supposed to have this surgery? Is something awful going to happen? Ughhh im sure im having a lil pre surgery jitters but ive been super excited!!!!!! Ughhhh i feel like a nut lol. All over the place and tons to do at work and home in prep for the surgery.

I got sick before surgery too. As long as you can breathe while you are sleeping, you're fine for surgery. You can't have a super junked up airway because when you wake up from surgery you're still groggy and you need to be able to breathe without consciously coughing to clear your airway, since you aren't conscious enough to do so. A sore throat without blockage isn't that big of a deal and all of the antibiotics they give you will clear it up.

@@kgarrettsatx My allergies are particularly bad this morning. Hopefully that's all it is but I would take Airborne and Vit C until surgery. Feel better!

At worst your surgery would be postponed, not canceled.

I think if God wanted you to not have surgery, She would send a more definitive message, possibly killing your surgeon in a wreck on the way to the hospital, or magically erecting a giant neon flashing DON'T HAVE SURGERY OR YOU WILL DIE @@kgarrettsatx sign in front of your house.

Airborne is the best to take for a few days and you should be all cleared up before your surgery! Good Luck!!!!
