I am freaking out

My ears are starting to bother me like I am getting sick. What if I do get sick how sick does one have to get before the cancel a surgery. maybe it is just alergies but the temp going up and down like it has this week I am so not suprized.

Maybe just allergies like you said. Let's hope you'll be feeling well on your surgery date. Good luck! I'll say a prayer for you. KTwinkle

I'm beginning to think a lot of people start getting sick before their surgery because of stress. I see so many people mentioning it. Anyway, I'm not a doc but I would try to rest, and have some chicken soup. If your ears start really aching, like you've got an ear infection, I'd say go to the ER. They can probably give you some antibiotics that will knock it out well before your surgery. Hang in there Brad The caboose.

I think I am just scared something is going to stop this thing from happening. It has been such an easy road, long, really long, but easy road.

Brad, see my post about Elderberry tea....have some! Sally

Hey Brad, I'm no expert here but I'll tell you what the nurse told me today when I did my pre-op stuff at the hospital. She said if you even THINK you are getting sick before your surgery go see your PCP because if you have something going on they will not do the surgery. It's your decision, just wanted to pass along what they told me today at the hospital. Carrie Carrie Quite Contrary (a/k/a CCQC) 12 Days and a Wake Up to a New Life!

I know just how you feel. I'm scheduled Tuesday and seem to be developing a chest cold. I'm hoping that by some miracle the sx's will dissapear in the next 2 days. If not I will have to call and cancel. It will be so dissapointing. I am so ready for this. I have everything I could possibly need and have done everything possible to prepare for this. I've been replaced at work for a month and my sister took some time off her job to be with me. What's worse is they are scheduling surgeries 8 weeks in advance now - so I'm likely to have a long wait. Plus I work in healthcare and am constantly exposed to sick people so who knows, this can happen again.

Brad, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and say a prayer. Hugs, Mo
