I ended up with chills and a cough last night. My body aches all over. What am I going to do? Very sad. Hoping I can pass through this bug quickly. Should I call the surgeon's office and reschedule or give it another day? I have to have it done by the 31st or insurance won't pay for it. I don't know if he has any more openings.

G'ma, give it a day or so. Could be partly nerves fueling this bug. Hugs and hope it works out for you!

Gma, I will be thinking of you and praying all goes well for you.

I took some homeopathic flu stuff hoping it would move me through the process quicker. Seemed to do the trick.. Went from scratchy throat and postnasal drip to fever and cough in less than 4 hours.

Hope its over for you soon

I hope you feel better for your surgery GMA.

It's a bit odd - I also had surgery on Dec. 4 last year, and had a fever when admitted.

They ended up still doing the surgery.

You and I will share a surgery anniversary!

Gma.. Thinking of you, and hoping you get well very quickly ((Hugs))

Ended up in urgent care yesterday. Tested me for the flu and it came back positive. I also have bronchitis. On tamiflu and antibiotics. Fever is down. They rescheduled surgery for the 11th. Last time I go out with DD for black Friday. That's probably where I picked it up.

Gma, sorry to hear your surgery was rescheduled.

Lucy55

Gma.. Oh sorry this had to happen, especially now... But so pleased for you that you have a new date for your surgery.. Praying for a speedy recovery for you. ((( Hugs)))

((((G'ma)))) Feel better chica! sorry you had to reschedule your much awaited surgery but at least it is soon! Hugs!

Note to all my friends - if a doc ever tries to give you Tamiflu to fight your virus - be warned - it puts your body into hyperdrive to kill the bug fast, but in the process, your heart races and the aching joint pain is worse than childbirth.. I think I'm past the worst of it, but the last two days have been horrible.

Get well soon GMA!! Good to know about Tamiflu.

I don't believe in flu shots. The only year I got a flu shot, I got the flu and was sick as a dog.

GmaFoley

Me too. The pain in the joints the first couple of days seemed as bad as natural childbirth. I have gone through every symptom in the book - scratchy throat, postnasal drip, joint aches, fever, chills, dizzy, headache, nausea, the runs, now cough. I managed to keep my cpap on almost all night. This morning the dizzy has stopped good enough I can work. Hopefully, the worst is over. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers.

Good news is that maybe I will be with the grandsons for Christmas. My drains should be coming out around the 19th.. Hmm. I put the Lord in charge of this plan.. I'm just along for the ride.

FireKracker

good morning

I see GmaF is doin betta...yay

I read the article a while back about the onions...of course garlic can't hurt cause they both R antibiotic...

A Dr.did this study in the 30s.One family did not get the flu and he went to the house and saw the onions..sice I read that I keep onions out in the kitchen...can't hurt..I don't take the shot either...only after I got the beast...just one time...I was ok but I'm not takin it again..

Gma.. Glad you are starting to feel better.. You've certainly been through a tough patch. I 've really tried to hand things over to The Lord too since this BC diagnosis... I need him to be in charge, because I certainly have no control over anything anymore. Take care xx

proudtospin

guess I am the exception as I get flue shots every year.  I have lots of allergies and asthma and docs at this time of year start talking about preventing bronchitis and pneumonia so this is part of the preventive

nope, no real issues after the shot although one year spent a day feeling flu-ish but no more

GmaFoley

After this, things might change - it was a bad one and had bronchitis with it. But this afternoon only a few coughs and fever is down. Good to because - craziness has just started - Got a call from the PS office that they had to change the time on surgery to noon instead of 1:30 and told me my Pre-op is on Monday the 8th - DH and I will make the trip to Portland and back that day(7 hours). Then we will go back up to my DD on the 10th. Back in panic mode.

GMA, stay cool and best wishes for a successful surgery
