Why Now!

My husband and son both have been sick with bad colds. So, of course I now have their cold. I am stressed over this since I am scheduled 12/11. Anyone have experience with having a cold so close to their surgery date?

      How long you had the cold now? A cold last 7 days max. You should be fine. Drink orange juice. Stay in doors & make home made chicken noodle soup you will be fine in no time.

    You should be done with your cold by surgery. Take OTC meds and you will be fine.

    Try Emergence-C. Always works for me! It would be fine on the liquid diet, I believe.
