Re: little over a week to go now i am getting SICK
I'm so sorry you're sick with your surgery coming up! If you haven't already, the best thing to do is call your doctor as soon as possible. H/she may be able to call in something for you to take since you shouldn't just take any medications/herbal supplements without your doctor's approval this close to surgery. In the meantime, keep your hands clean, drink plenty of fluids, keep the tissues close, rest and have some chicken soup! I'm sending and healing thoughts!

Re: little over a week to go now i am getting SICK
Yes, you should definitely talk to your doctor. The day before my surgery, I started getting congested, and I was concerned about being able to breathe during my surgery. I spoke to the anesthesiologist just before my surgery, and he was quite concerned about whether it was a cold or just allergies. He said if it was a cold, he would want to postpone the surgery, but it would be okay if it were just allergies. I was fairly sure it was just seasonal allergies, so my surgery went ahead as planned. But I'd never heard about the possibility of having to postpone an operation because of a cold.
Just to be on the safe side, talk to your doctor and see what she recommends. I wish you all the best for feeling better, a successful surgery, and a good recovery!

Re: little over a week to go now i am getting SICK
Clear nose drainage usually indicated allergies. Is your allergy medication working?Nothing is worse than sneezing post op, so make sure if it is allergies your current medication works on the sneezing. Also let your doctor know what your on so after surgery he has a record of it before he prescribes things.

cuddle1977,
I really hope you get to feeling better and stay better. The weather here is stinky!!! Hot tea does wonders. I'm going to be juicing up on that this next week. I like the celestial seasons chamomile. I wish I could bring you some I'm praying for you.

Re: little over a week to go now i am getting SICK
My orginal surgery was supposed to be in March, but it got rescheduled because I had a cold. Your surgery is a week from tomorrow, maybe you'll be well enough by then that they won't need to reschedule.
