Got a question

I'm having a panniculectomy/hernia repair this Friday. Last Friday my pcp put me on cipro and mucinex for a sinus infection. I had sinus pressure, ears felt full, etc. I feel better. Tuesday I called my ps's office and told them what I'd been put on, how I was doing, etc. They just said to call back Thursday morning to let them know how I feel then and everything should be fine. Ok, I still feel fine, mostly. The medicines have been breaking loose my sinuses and I've been blowing my nose quite a bit, but I've still got some sinus pressure, headaches at times. I know the weather is making alot of people have colds and what not. I feel ok except for the occasional sinus pressure. At times I feel like I've got a "medicine head" but the cipro says it can make u feel dizzy while taking it so I am assuming thats from the medicine. I'm not coughing, no fever, no runny nose, nothing but some sinus pressure at times and a little dizziness from the medicine. I will be calling them back tomorrow like they told me too and telling them all this, but I'm nervous and scared today and hoping that just a little sinus pressure won't keep me from having surgery. I've got a lot on my mind and if your all's opinions can ease this worry I would greatly appreciate it. I'm excited about having surgery. But my 4 yr old is going to stay with my aunt tomorrow night and all day Friday and I'm worried about being away from her. I know she's excited and can't wait but I'm a mommy and I worry when I'm not with her. Can't help it! What are your thoughts on this sinus pressure business? Think it will keep me from having surgery? Feel free to call me crazy and paranoid lol. I kind of want to stop the Cipro, its an antibotic for the sinus infection I've finished the mucinex, but I only have this afternoon and tomorrow left on the Cipro and I'm pretty sure thats whats causing my dizzyness and lightheadedness cause it says it will right on the bottle. Ok, I'm done being paranoid and silly for now. Encouraging thoughts appreciated, prayers on my surgery too! Hugs Ange

Angela! hi! dont worry your meds your taking for your sinus infection is a strong one and that shouldnt stop your surgery, i remember one time when i was operated on i had a sinus infection and was taking meds they still did surgery, they are going to give you antibiotics in your iv iam sure for when you have the surgery, so try not worry ok? iam sending you a big prayer and a big get well ok ! Delilah

Thank u! All prayers greatly appreciated!

Ahhhhh Angela, I'm soooo sorry that you're feeling bad. I don't know why your surgeon would postphone the surgery; it seems that you had wrote somewhere that your PCP said that the anit-biotic wouldn't be a hinderance to you having surgery. You're probably just stressing on the surgery itself. It's always scary going under the knife! I know that today coming home from the "Y", I got butterflies in my stomach when I realized that my surgery is only 13days away. I got heart palpatations and even had some hyperventilation! My dear hubby told me that it's all in God's hands and it's all going to be fine and even better than life is now. I can't imagine what it's like having a child to boot and I doubt I'm offering much comfort; I suppose what I really wanted to do is let you know that I am thinking of you and I am praying-pulling for you! Try not to fret and just think, after Friday, it will all be over with and you'll be hurting from your stitches. Not to fear too much with that, you'll have some good meds to help with that. Take care Angela---tell your sweet hubby you need a hug! In the meantime; here's a virtual one from Lexington! Dee

Thanks Dee!!! All prayers are greatly appreciated cause God is the Great Physician! I am feeling better even getting excited. These silly antibotics are just making me dizzy and until I figured out it was the Cipro causing it, it was kind of scary. Our little one is getting a cold herself, she's 4, so my sweet hubby's going to have his hands full this weekend! Hugs Ange

Angela, Everything is going to be just fine!! You might want to get the little one some triaminic (yellow) and give to her before her cold gets a head start, just so you won't be worrying about her. And, remember -- God doesn't give us more than we can handle. So, keep on keeping on!! ha ha I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. And, heck yea --- get excited!!! LOL Sharee

Triaminic, thats what I was trying to remember! Thank u!!! lol, I was sitting doing my list out for my trip to Walmart in a bit and couldn't remember what that was called. Thanks so much! I am excited now that I feel better and know that its going to happen...Yippie, I'm having surgery!!! Hugs and Thanks Ange

U R welcome! lol Sharee

I am sure you will be fine Angela, but only your surgeon can answer your questions .. good luck and I will definately be thinking about you..I am right behind you with the plastics,my surgery is the first of Nov.. keep us informed! Brenda

Thanks Brenda! I'm feeling alot better today. My little one just has a cold! I think everyone around here has something...I'll let ya know soon as I'm able how it goes tomorrow. I'm getting pretty excited about it! Hugs Angela
