My surgery is next Friday and my allergies are really leaving me congested! (I really don't want to cancel surgery but if I have to I will)

I saw my PCP on Wednesday for congestion and he congratulated on my surgery being next week. He didn't see a problem after checking me over and gave me the all clear.

He was going to prescribe a nasal spray but I had one from over the counter that works really well.

I am having a pre-op physical on Tuesday so I will try not to worry too much.

On the plus side, I paid my surgical co-pay today! I asked the woman on the phone if I could still have the surgery if I only paid the surgical co-pay because I still have to pay the hospital room fee and she thought I was ridiculous! She said, "Of course you can still have surgery!"

She told me about the payment plans they offer at the hospital and said that I could call them after the procedure to set it up once they send a bill.

This is finally starting to become a reality. I can't wait!

What type of allergies? Sinusitis? It may be all the dairy from the protein shakes you could try some of the protein waters and drink instead.

I'm actually not on any Protein shakes and I'm great with dairy.

When I went to see my pcp he flushed my ear because I had a small blockage which made hearing out of my left ear hard and everything else congested.

My ear is fine but now I have some really nasty phlegm build up.

Yay! Congrats!

Well it sounds like you have it under control. I have a myraid of allergies so I completely understand.

@@BLERDgirl I actually meant to write I'm not great with dairy! I'm starting to feel a little better now, however. *Knocks on wood*
