surgery question
does anyone know if they will still proceed with surgery if i'm sick. i started feeling bad last sunday night, sore throat cough, feels like someone is sitting on my chest. went to dr tues and he gave me a zpack antibiotic. i am still coughing up junk from my lungs and my nose is still draining. i am supposed to call surgeon on momday morning and tell them how i'm feeling. i was just wondering if they would still do it if i'm still sick. thanks, buildergirl

RE: surgery question
Before I had the knee replacement medical test were ordered. The test showed a infection in my system and I was placed on medication.

Another blood test was ordered to see if the infection was still present.
The medication worked and I had surgery as scheduled.

RE: surgery question
Depends on whether on not they think the chest congestion could cause a problem with breathing.

God is never late.

In the end it doesn't matter how many years were in your life but how much life was in your years.
