Were you able to continue surgery without complications from you being sick? I just ask because I too am ill 3 days before surgery...sinus infection.

I have surgery on Tuesday and I too have been sick. Went to doc in the box today and got 2 shots (antibiotics and steroids) He said if I felt better I should be fine....but what about getting the steroids...should I be worried? No fever, no pneumonia. On Levaquin....soooo worried they will want to reschedule??!!!

You need to contact your dr regarding the steroids. Did the dr you went to know that you were having surgery this week?

Yeah I told the doc I was having surgery. And I called my surgeon this morning and they said as long as I felt better and wasn't running a fever I was good to go!
