oh Honey! This was one of my fears... so many things to juggle when getting ready for the surgery --- call your surgeon's office to talk to them about your cold... be up front and honest. Your overall safety is what's important here...

I feel for you! I'm scheduled for surgery this coming Thursday and the flu has started to hit our office big time. I do not want anything to come between me and this surgery. Hope you get over it quickly.

I advised you heavily to call your surgeon's office and let them know you are sick! This is a MAJOR issue with anesthesia and you don't want to run the risk of having complications because of the congestion or infection. Please be honest with them and take care of yourself!
