I'm scheduled to have my surgery tomorrow a.m. I got sick Monday night. Not sure if it is a sinus infection or just allergies but I have chest and nose congestion. I probably should have called the doctor's office today to see what they said but I was afraid they would cancel (smart thinking huh?):paranoid
Now I'm worried that I am going to get there tomorrow a.m. and they are going to send me back home! No fever or anything and over the counter meds do help me sound better but I'm not supposed to take anything after midnight so not sure I can fake it. :lie:
This happen to anyone else and did you have to postpone surgery? Or any medical people that can advise whether they will likely go ahead even with my symptoms?
Thanks.
