Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Thanks i started feeling bad on monday, went to work on tuesday and asked the boss to leave early on tuesday she let me go at 4 and i called in the rest of the week, saw the doc on thrusday who confirmed it was the flu and not just a cold. I'm so glad i'm feeling better cause tonight mom and I are going to go see Gallagher (www.gallaghersmash.com) I saw him in concert about 8 years ago and just love him to death. Ruth Ann " heather o.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Glad to hear you are better, Ruth Ann. I think the flu or a cold hit me a little harder since surgery (but that's me)....However I have to be careful because I never really got sick before surgery & now I do more often. So, I just try & stay away from sick people all together which is hard to do. And I'll up my vitamins intake during the cold & flu season just to be safe. Also a flu shot......Take care, Barb > > As most of you know I'm still a pre-op and was wondering.....what effects does surgery have on us when we get sick? such as a cold or as i've been hit with this last week, the Flu? > > My doctor prescribed Tamiflu which worked great....I'm much better today (3 days after taking it) than i was before taking it. > > Does the flu and colds hit us harder after surgery or it is the same as when you were pre-op? > > Ruth Ann > > > " This mirror will show you what you do and do not want to know.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Thanks for the info Barb....my mom got a flu shot and still got the flu (a different strain of it) I also take enbrel for my psorisis and it cause's your immune system to be not up to par, so anyone gets sick at work and i catch it...... I did miss the flu shot this year cause everytime i went into the office they were out. next year i'll make sure i'm on the 'must have' list Ruth Ann Barbara wrote: Glad to hear you are better, Ruth Ann.
