Came down with the stomach flu yesterday and I am scheduled for surgery on Monday morning!! I came home from work early last night to find the hubs is sick too!! We had a long night but we are both feeling better today. I am still a little achy and have a headache. I called in today and I have been resting and hydrating to prepare for Monday.I am SO scared of surgery being postponed...but I have no respiraoty symptoms. just this GI bug. I have had no vomiting (only nausea) and no diarrhea for several hours.
What should I do?? I may still have a low grade temp (can't find my thermometer)but the worst is definitely over.
Do I try and call someone tomorrow?? Or just show up Monday morning and hope I am fever free and not say anything??
I am a nurse, but am feeling a little dumb here. I could see how respiratory infections ould cause potential complications with intubation...but cannot think of any reason they would cancel me over this, can YOU!??
A little help here would be greatly appreciated!!

My surgery is also Monday! I am also in medical (CMA). If it were me I would show up and not say anything if you are feeling better and are fever free....I know how horrible a patient I am....but I've also been working towards surgery for almost 3 years! So go with your gut!...good luck we will do awesome!

I would go for the surgery as long as you don't get any worse. Good luck!
