Hi,

My hip replacement surgery was canceled because I woke up with a bad heache, runny nose and cough the day of the surgery.  The doctor said to minimize the risk of infection

I had my TT on 2/14/07 and caught something while I was in the hospital...Had to be on antiobiotics for 4 weeks because of a sinus infection that wouldn't go away.  Your immune system will be down after surgery, so let your doc know how you are feeling.
