So, I get up this morning, exactly 1 week from my surgery date and guess what???.... I feel like I am coming down with a cold. Seriously?

I cannot be sick, I am pushing liquids and Protein like crazy hoping to overcome and be better by Monday.... Uggh

OMG Michelle- I came over to Pre-Op to post THE SAME THING!

I woke up today with a sore throat- thought it was allergies- but tonight I feel like crap and I know I am sick. My son had a cold and we worked together shooting a wedding Saturday. I drank airborne all weekend trying to protect myself but nope.

I am so scared! It always seems to go to my lungs and get bad. I just will freak if they cancel my surgery!

With one week to go....here we are! ACK!

Hugs to you!!!!

I had a cold when I had spinal cord surgery last year. I thought for sure they would cancel, but they didnt. In fact, they gave me something to dry out my nasal passages and lungs right before they hit me with the hard drugs. They did check and re-check me for a temp, but since I didn't have one away we went with surgery. Hopefully, your cold will pass by then. If not, call your Dr and find out what his protocol is for surgery when you have a cold. Good luck!!

I would hate to have done this sick. But I asked as I often get colds when I dramatically change my diet. They said that if it was just a cold -- no infection, no fever -- and I was okay with having it, they would not cancel on me. (Which was sort of funny since they ultimately canceled on me twice for other reasons)

Luckily you have some time so that if it is just a cold, you can recover. Unfortunately, if it's more, you might not be so lucky. ;)

Mine is definitely a cold. :( I was really tired at Water aerobics last night but with eating, or should I say drinking 500 calories a day it could have been that- but when I got home it was in my chest and I knew it. I have slept most of the day today... but good news is I was a bit better when I woke up and I think it will be a quick one. I am using my sinus lavage twice a day since everything goes to my sinuses... also adding strawberries and banana to my Protein drinks to help up my c and citamins and of course hitting the airborne and the emergen-c....and I will contact my doctor and see what could happen.

Healing light to everyone!!!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
