High WBC count? Tomorrow's surgery may be postponed.

[Panda333 276]

Hi Folks, I've been excited to count down and tomorrow is my surgery. On Sept 18th I had my final pre-blood work down and my White blood cell count was high, around 13 where the max range is 10.8. I had just finished a course of steriods for bronchitis. The surgeon examined me and I was breathing clear so asked me to do another blood test on the 27th. well..I just got an alert from Quest the results were in. I looked and the WBC count is only down to 12. I haven't heard yet from the surgeon if they want to cancel but I know they are very risk adverse at this hospital. expecting I'll be postponed which is okay I guess for safety. But I already took my two weeks off of work and made plans for my staff and backups. probably posting to y'all too soon but has anyone experienced being postponed due to labworks? Ultimately I know it will be a good thing if it makes it safer and less prone to infection.....
