Ok so I have 4 more days until it's finally time for my surgery. Yesterday I came down with a bad case of the flu. I was getting sick, having the chills and fever at the same time, and spending a lot of time in the bathroom. Today I've been dizzy and sleeping as much as possible. I'm finally able to keep down water and Isopure so I'm working on my fluids. I'm just worried this could affect my chance of having surgery! I even dreamed that once I got at the hospital they told me I would have wait until a later date due to me being sick. Aauugghh! My regular doc said if I get sick to call the office right away- but of course they are closed on the weekend and what would they do anyways for the flu? Anyone experience being sick before surgery? Anyone not able to get their surgery once they got to the hospital? I'm stressing out now!!!
