Bit of a cold before op Started by: danielle

Hi your more prone to infections etc if you have a fever etc but a mild cold should be fine.. Just stay in have plenty of rest and keep warm

I had a cold and a bit of a sore throat when I had my op, they listen to your chest to make sure it’s not too full of rubbish before they give the go-ahead. I was fine though. (Had mine Tuesday) x

@danielle I honestly can not believe how easy my recovery has been!! I’ve had minimum pain. Straight after my op I was able eat, use the loo (you have to before you leave hospital) and walk around, I can use my arms but not carry weight. Today has been the worse as I went do a little shopping but I was just aching, a few sharp pains and itchy..nothing major. Just relax and stay on top if your pain killers 🙂 I was a nervous wreck before going into surgery but honestly it’s all gone so smoothly. Good luck for your op! It’s worth it all! xx
