HELP! 2 days til surgery and I have a cold :(

[Vicki0618 123]

It's just a head cold...mostly drippy nose and scratchy throat. I don't have a fever and my chest isn't congested but I'm worried about showing up at the hospital and them saying "sorry can't do it" My husband keeps telling me not to worry that if I don't have a fever I should be fine but I'm so close

I'm taking 2000 mg Vitamin C and Zinc every 3 hours.

Anybody else have surgery with a cold???

I caught head and chest cold two days preop. No problem. They gave me a breathing treatment and never showed any concern. You'll be fine.

I went into it with a cold. I had no intention of telling them I had a cold. No one ever noticed. The nurses only came in to hook me up to the IV and the doctor didn't see me until I was in the operating room.

That's what my husband said, "just don't say anything". I guess as long as I don't have a fever or congested lungs I should be fine....Maybe I'm just getting nervous...
