Battling A Cold HELP!!

I am 2 days away from surgery and have been fighting a cold since Saturday. I have been drinking 2 protein shakes a day and a light meal. Can this hurt my scheduled surgery? What can I take to fight it?

Jamie: PLEASE call your surgeon to discuss this. I know you do not want to delay surgery BUT the risks of an infection going into major surgery w/ anesthesia MAY be RISKY! So if you do need to put off better to be safe than sorry! OK HUGS!
