[QUOTE="SRL, post: 326335, member: 701"] Thanks everyone. I talked with a friend this morning who had the same surgery and who I learned also had a cold the week leading up to it. She suggested calling my doctor because hers prescribed antibiotics and cough syrup with codeine ahead of time. Mine said to push fluids, take Tylenol, and thought it wouldn't hurt to nebulize preventatively. We're already planning spinal anesthesia and that in this situation would be better than general. As long as there's no fever and the lungs are clear he sounded okay with it. We've reached our out of pocket deductable this year so if this gets pushed back it's going to cost us a bundle. [/QUOTE]
