As part of my medical clearances for surgery in Just under 3 weeks, they did a urinalysis which had more white blood cells than expected. Now I'm worried that a possible UTI could derail my surgery date! I'm hoping that if I have one, there is enough time for antibiotics to clear it up! Anyone else have a similar experience?

3 weeks is plenty of time for it to clear up. Good luck!

Thanks! It's so stressful! My wife has been sleeping in the spare room because she suddenly got sick and doesn't want to risk giving it to me.

I, too, was so paranoid about catching things right before surgery Chances are good everything is gonna work out great! Exciting times!

Yes, paranoid is right. We have a party to go to on 9/10, just 4 days before my surgery and I considered bailing...my wife suggested instead just not hugging or kissing anyone and frequent hand washing....she is right...I have a very strong immune system and tend not to get sick easily, but I'm still nervous about it!

Happy to report that retesting showed no issues and I am cleared for my surgery in two weeks!!

Woo hoo!
