OMG I have a Runny Nose

[realtruelady 0]

My surgery is Monday and my nose is running. I also have an occasional cough due to my sinuses draining. I did have a sinus infection and took a Z-pac to clear it up. Will they postpone my surgery due to a runny nose? I hope not because my mother fly in on saturday:scared2:

Do you have a fever? If not, I wouldn't worry too much. But that being said...I am a world class worry wart! :sad:

Good luck. My surgery is for 12/9. I will say a prayer for you!

Thank you. I shall return the prayer. My nose has actually stopped running which is a great relief. So I am ready to go!!:wink2:

OK here is my five cents about a runny nose or any other cold like symptom. I had a cold the day of my surgery...so I used eye drops, cough drops, nose spray and made a wish. I seemed to hide it well enough as I had the surgery as planned, however recovery was harder. The cold turned into streap throat and broncitus and I am still on antibiotics, coughing your lungs out post surgery is SUPER bad and for the throat, well I just ate lots of popsicles. Now that its over i can say that if I could have postponed surgery for just one week I would have done it. My problem was that if I would have told them, they would have postponed it but the next surgery date could have been a month later....so since I had already had my share of delays I chose to do what I did......just be warned....it could be a lot harder recovery.
