I'm two days away from my exchange surgery and we still do not know if I will have it on Friday. After many months anticipating this surgery, I woke up Monday morning with a sore throat. It's cold and flu season. I've been on the go. Apparently my immune system is not the best.
I've been pushing the fluids since Monday. I've had soup for both lunch and dinner since Monday. I've consumed a great deal of orange juice and green tea. I've drank herbal immune fizz. I've added garlic, basil, cayenne and cilantro to my soups. HEB had coffee infused with Echinecea and I had a cup this afternoon.
My doc took a throat culture. He's 90% sure it's not strep. He's thinking it is a viral throat infection that may lead to a cold but we won't get those results until tomorrow at 2pm. My plastic surgeon is giving me the green lights as long as it is not strep. However, it's the anesthesiologist that gets the final call since that person is the one looking down my throat! I'm fine with having my surgery Friday as long as it does not compromise my health.
If I do not have the surgery on Friday, I'm uncertain when the next availability will be. Though work has slowed down, other aspects of my life will be need to be focused on. I'll blog more about that soon. So...here's when I really need everyone to send along all the best vibes. I'll keep you posted and wish me luck!
