worried about testing

well lets see I go tomorrow for my pre admission testing and I have (I think a small sinus cold). So I'm kinda afraid that they will make me postpone my date.Unfortunatly if they postpone it I dont think I'll reschedule it, since i dont think they're under my new insurance.I guess what I'm saying is I hope that everything will be ok. Sue if you read this I'm trying to get the the meeting next monday. rich w

Rich they wont cancel it. You have 2 weeks to get rid of the cold. I would start your vitiams now and get some vitiam C and cough meds. That is what I did. If you have a sinus infection you will need to go to your doctor. Beleive me you will be fine. Take Care of your self Barb

Richard, as Sue has sad, get in your vitamins and I would see your doctor to make sure you dont need antibiotics. I would not leave anything to chance. I am sure you r doctor would understand. I will be praying for you. Richard

I mean Barb. Sorry

Rich, All they will do at this pre-op testing is a ekg....blood work...and check your urine. Then back up to Lerner Tower 9 and they will have you sign your consent form (if you haven't already) and give you your presciption for Roxicet (wonderful drug!). I wouldn't sweat it about them cancelling. If it is just a cold it will run its course before the 16th! See you on Monday! Sue

Rich, I am gonna say something that I hope wont make you mad .. But sometimes I feel like I can read between the lines. And somehow I think you are not convinced you are ready to have this surgery.. This is a life changing procedure that will change your entire existance. I pray that you get over your sinus infection and come to terms with whether you are looking for a way out of having it. It worries me that you are looking for one reason or another to have it forceably cancelled. Could it be your subconcious having second thoughts. Make sure it is really and truly what you want to do. Just because it was right for me and many others doesnt mean its right for you. I am not trying to talk you out of anything, I just hope and pray that you make the choice that is best for you. If I am totally off the wall here forgive me for bringing this up. I usually dont go out on a limb like this. But I felt inspired to reach out to you. Rich you wouldnt believe the feeling here on the losing side. It is so amazing every day to breath better, walk better, faster, further, and to have your clothes hanging on you that were too tight a week ago. Its quite a ride.. Please dont be mad at me, I am not trying to be a mean old grouch. I just want you to think!!! Loving Hugs Laura

I had a cold and cough for a long time before surgery the cough just wouldnt go away. I didnt have a fever or anything and was up front and they really didnt question it at all. Surgery went without a hitch. Tammy O I think we all worry something is gonna be wrong. lol

Hi Richard ~ I wish you a lot of luck. Take some extra C too if you want to get rid of the cold. 1000mg of Ester-C is good for you. It also won't upset your stomach because it is absorbed immediately. You could use a good immune boost. As for what Laura (the other Laura, that is ) said about "reading between the lines," you might want to think on that. I don't know you at all but if she's been reading you she might be getting a bit of intuition regarding what's going on with you emotionally. It's also fine to get the last minute jitters. I'm scheduled for the 18th of this month and I'm waiting for mine to hit. . But I think it's real important to be confident about what you are doing. It might be a good idea to maybe journal a bit about the pros & cons. It might give you a better perspective on things. Again, I wish you luck!
