Hi guys,
I'm two weeks out from my surgery date (which I think will now be pushed back) My ekg & chest X-ray came back perfectly fine. However my blood work, specifically my cbc/white blood count came back 11.3 (slightly elevated) avg is about 10.8. This indicates some sort of infection and my pcp will not clear me unless I get rid of this mysterious infection. I say mysterious because my pcp has yet to uncover where or what is causing the infection. Have any of you experienced this? If so what was the outcome?
