Just when I thought things couldn't get worse I went to the Dr's yesterday morning and the flu bug has become a very nasty chest infection! So bad it warrantied antibiotics! :( So my pre-op had to be cancelled and they are trying to get me in sometime next week, I'm waiting on a phone call from my consultants secretary but I've a bad feeling the operation will also have to be moved if the pre-op team can't fit me in!! So feeling really rubbish and tired as I'm not sleeping well with all the coughing!!

    So sorry Bubba, if its the flu you have you may not be feeling up to pre op or op and wouldn't be a good to go ahead. Best to make sure you are recovered properly I think.

    Keep in the warm and rest all you need and hope for a quick recovery.

    Best wishes Jen

    So sorry to hear this, definitely not what you need or want. Hope you manage to get it sorted soon.

    Sorry to hear that you're still feeling rough, coughs seem to hang around for ages. I wonder if you would feel any benefit from a steamy atmosphere......I get some pretty nasty chest infections thanks to lung damage from the RA, but when I do I find a hot shower gives me some relief, it seems to loosen up the chest, I also try sipping hot lemon and honey which seem to sooth .I hope the pre op goes well.

    Bubba, some of these bugs are persistent little devils as I know only too well.

    I hope that you manage to get rid of the rest quickly and that the pre-op goes well.
