Update on my cancelled surgery for today 3/20

I went to the PCP today to see about my cough, the reason my surgery got cancelled for today. He had treated me for the cough in February and said then that he thought I'd need prednisone to actually get rid of it. He didn't want to prescribe it at that time because of my diabetes. Today I came home with the script for prednisone and Novolog- Insulin. The prednisone to calm my immune system down and the Insulin to cover the sugar highs caused by the prednisone. It's a low dose prednisone that won't interfer with the surgery, after the cough was gone. He thought I'd be able to reschedule 2-3 weeks after the cough is gone. I have to call him when the cough is gone and he'll send the clearance to the surgeon. Looks like I may get an April surgery date. Jeanne

Jeanne, I'm sorry a cough got in the way of your surgery date! But I am glad that your doctor's are making sure that you have the safest surgery possible. I send you good thoughts and hope you are cough-free very soon! - Stephanie
