RoseQuartz56 15 Posted August 14, 2019 Hello! It’s currently midnight for me, and I have a doctor’s appt at 9 am for post-op. I can’t sleep and I think I’ve developed a cold. My ears hurt when I swallow, my nose is constantly either runny or stuffed, and my throat feels practically bruised. My head is a bit warm, and I’m unsure how much I’ll actually be able to sleep tonight. I’m super tired, but my body is aching so much, it’s hard to relax. I’m unsure if I’m allowed to cancel a post-op, honestly. Do I cancel and reschedule, or wait for my next post op (scheduled in 2 weeks)? It may seem silly to ask what I’m allowed, but I really don’t want to do the wrong thing. What should I do? Help! 1 FluffyChix reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreenTealael 25,439 Posted August 14, 2019 Can you take your approved pain meds? Drink tea? Gargle with salt Water? Etc... If you still dont feel well and temp is up your surgeon should be notified either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FluffyChix 17,415 Posted August 14, 2019 Go to your appointment. That same thing happened to me. They said that's their job--to see sick people and they may want to give you meds. ((hugs)) Feel better soon!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
