sick and other things....
I got the call on Wednesday about my surgery date, then probably 1 hour later I started to feel like I was getting a cold. Well, sure enough it happened! I went to my PCP on Friday and he confirmed that it was JUST a cold/with fluid in my right ear. He gave me nasal spray and a 3 day azithromycin z pak. Ok, I haven't done the antibiotics. I am scared they will interfere with the surgery. Any thoughts on that? Also, I do not have a temperature, but I do have some 'productive' coughing. What should I do? I DON'T want to reschedule! I have all of my work papers turned in and don't want to go through that again. On the other hand, I don't want to get some terrible infection! BTW, who gets a cold in June anyway????? 
Also, I have been pretty much all set with my decision to have surgery. I was perusing this website and I came across the member area that has the members that are no longer with us. Of course, I read all of it! I am a nervous wreck. I am getting scared...
I had a sinus infection right before my surgery date and the pre op nurse told me to take the antibiotics. I would call your surgeons office first thing Monday morning. I wouldnt risk not starting the antibiotics for fear that the infection will get worse and then they will post pone the surgery.

I got a nasty sinus infection too - two weeks ago. My PCP put me on antibiotic and I feel great. I had the "productive" coughing too - that is good... you're getting all that yuck out of your body. I deal with seasonal allergies and this summer has been pretty rough in that department - do what your doctor says and you will do just fine! I was freaking out too... so I can understand your concern. I was a wreck this week - but after I said goodbye to my friends at work knowing I would be off for six weeks I did okay. I was fine yesterday and today I am okay, too. It gets better. What you are feeling is normal. My surgery is tomorrow
