Sick before surgery...

I am all set for my surgery on Tuesday and I am very excited, but for the past few days I've had a head cold with runny nose and coughing. I'm determined that I will get better before tuesday since I've had this since monday. I'm just taking dayquil. Has this happened to anybody else?

The day I flew out to San Diego then on to Mexicali, when my DH and daughter were seeing me off, my daughter had a very wet cough, stuffy nose, etc. I just knew I would get sick and not have my surgery, but for some reason, it held off till I got home. So, I have it now, and it is almost gone. So mine really only lasted a week. Hopefully you will be ok, too!

Good Luck!!!

It seems everyone is getting sick lately! I think it's because we had a day or two of mild temperatures and then it's crap again. Well, it's been 6 days so far. I am taking today off of work to recoup since I don't want to creep out my patients with my coughing and boogery nose. lol I am keeping positive. This is the first time I'm actually looking forward to summer!

Happening to me right now. My surgery is scheduled tomorrow and I started with those symptoms yesterday. Guess I will get some dayquil when I go get my gas x latter today. I am flushing my sinuses 2x day in hopes of preventing it from getting worse.

Yeah, I'm keeping up on my dayquil until tonight. I feel alot better than I did over the weekend so I feel better. Stressing out over it probably didn't help. :P

Same here my date is April 4th and came down with a Cough and sore throut. Don't know what medicines I can take this close to surgery.

I just took Dayquil and Theraflu. Hot brothy Soups and tea seemed to help too.
