I woke up with s stuffy nose and a sore throat!!!!

OMG!!! Are they going to cancel my surgery if i am sick?!?! It is in 16 days! I am praying that this is just cuz I slept bad last night!!! Any advise??

I think I've heard most folks on here indicate that as long as it was just a headcold, it wasn't a reason to cancel surgery. Their surgeons went ahead with it anyway.

Do your colds usually last that long? That would be one heck of a cold!

If you are sick within the day or two prior to surgery, then I think you might wish to contact your surgeon to verify what he/she would want to do. But this far ahead, I wouldn't worry too much.

Feel better soon!

Relax hon, your surgery is in just over 2 weeks, if it is a cold you will be well on the mend by then, dont sweat the small stuff. You will be fine!! 

I wouldn't worry about it.  It may be a cold, or it could just be allergies.  I tend to get mucus in my lungs regularly, not much, but enough to feel it vibrate a little when I breathe deep.  I had this when I went for surgery at the Civic (it's a teaching hospital, so there is usually  more than one of everything) and the student questioned the anastethiologist (sp?) about it, I coughed and he listend to my chest and I still went under.  Came out fine.

For your own sake, take care of it.  If you are on Opti, not sure about what meds you can take if it is a cold, but you can always use Vicks.  I use it, and my Mom uses it and she has health problems that can get bad if she doesn't take care of her colds when they start.

Oh no! Hope you feel better soon!
