I am so upset....my surgery is in 6 days and I have come down with a cold. SInus congestion, runny nose & headache.

Can they still do surgery if you are sick?

I am doing what I can to get rid of the cold....extra rest, Vitamins, fluids, steam, even used the netipot for the first time. I will be devestated if my surgery gets postponed!

Can you take anything like tylenol cold and flu? Stress might make you more sick so try not to let it get to you.

i have been taking some cold and sinus meds...it does help if i keep it in me. But what if it doesn't go away? thats my concern.

Im trying not to stress about it.

I have a phone appointment with my surgeon on Thursday, so I will talk to him about it then I guess.

That's your best bet to talk to your surgeon. Fix you a hot toddy and stay inside. Sending you get well wishes

A cold will likely be gone in 6 days. Just make sure it is not a sinus infection or something like that!

Feel better soon!

thanks everyone.

I have a phone appointment tomorrow with the surgeon. I will talk to him about it.

I think I am feeling better today then I was yesterday. Or maybe its just wishful thinking. *sigh*
