At least I hope so, I got a sore throat yesterday, no fever.. but hopefully it'll clear up or they're still do surgery as long as i don't develop a fever :biggrin: for now I'm taking 1,000mg of vitamin C a day in addition to multivitamins and hoping and praying I'll still be able to have surgery Tuesday. I'm so excited and a little nervous (but now mainly just worried about being able to have surgery... )

I hope you get to feeling better. I know how dissapointing it would be to have to postpone surgery. Good luck Tuesday, I'll be right behind you on Wednesday!

Oh My! I would be gargling with everything in site. I'm too impatient :biggrin:

Please keep us posted on how you are feeling!

I had a sore throat too, even lost my voice, but they asked me how I was feeling the day of surgery, and I said great!, which was true, so surgery went ahead. As long as you don't have a cold, or fever, you should be okay, I think.

The only downside though is now everytime I need to cough, I have to hold onto my port incision or else coughing hurts!

ooh, I sure hope that's the case! I'm going to continue really taking it easy and doing everything I can to keep myself healthy so it doesn't get to the point of a cold or fever!

and Lanakila, thank you for reminding me, i should try gargling!!!

I have had a sore throat the past two days. I think it is allergies, I have not felt sick, but wake up with a sore throat. I do not want to have the surgery postponed - that would suck! I haven't been running a fever, so I am hoping the surgery is on.

I also threw my back out. How silly is that, all the gardening put me in a really bad place. I am feeling better but I can't take the anti-inflammatory to help fix the pain. I have been taking a muscle relaxer and vicodin the first day - haven't used it today. I have to check in with the doc in the morning to make sure I will be good to go!

Good Luck Ellen!
