May Have to Postpone
I have been lurking on these boards for months and used to post under the "alternative" forum as I had a fibroid resection / ablation this time last year. Long story short it failed and hear I am scheduled for January 10th for a LAVH.
Was not panicking about things but got hit with a fever on the 29th.... still didn't panick as new whatever was brewing would be gone in time. Now I have had a very thick and sore throat with swollen glands for the last couple of days, no more fever but that terrible dry cough that doesn't seem to be letting up.
Going to go to my GP in the a.m. to see what he thinks. I am also scheduled for my pre op in the next couple of days.
I pray that the coast will be cleared for me. Scared as heck to go through with it but yet want to get it done and over with.
Thanks for letting me vent.

I am actually in the same boat, in fact I did not go to a New Years Eve party last night because many of the people there kids included are coming off off a pretty bad upper respiratory infection and my daughter was home sick too with fever and cough. I went and bought every single defense type of product I could find and have been drinking juice and staying away from everyone. My pre-op appointment is Friday and I have surgery for TAH/BSO this coming Monday. I am so scared that it will be canceled if I get sick. My sister in law who was at the party I did not attend called and is now sick. I do not feel like I am getting sick but now I am consumed with worry that something will be wrong with my medicaid paperwork and I will have to fight them and postpone for red tape problems eek.. it is always something. Good luck, you still have time to get well.

Hi Blondraider, yes please do take all precautions you can. I caught mine from DH who came down with it on the 24th. I NEVER get sick and cannot believe that I am facing all of this right now although it is taking my mind of the worry of the operation itself.
Especially for you as I see in your tagline that you are dealing with cancer so you will definitely not want a postponement. Your in my prayers

I'm happy that you're going to the dr . Hopefully he/she can help you get through this new problem quickly. But letting your surgeon know about what's going on is a good idea. It's really important that he'she knows about anything that might compromise your surgery or recovery. Please call and let him/her know; especially mention what your GP tells you.
Best wishes.

Thanks all.
Went to the doc today and lungs are clear and throat looks good. Glands less swollen so now its pretty much just a dry cough.
One new problem - fever blister on lower lip that they say I must have dried out by Monday

I came down with the same thing a week before my surgery so I rushed into my doc and got those 3 day antibiotics and just stayed clear of people until my surgery. I was hurting and bleeding so bad that canceling was not an option.
I hope everything goes well for you all.

Good grief with all the stuff going on because you have to have the surgery now you have to be almost in perfect health before they can operate. Seems silly, but I know it's all for good reasons just is crazy.
