illness post op

[emergingbutterfly]

I am off work today and yesterday cos I am not well, hence the reason I have time to post on here.

I dont actually know what is wrong except my temp was very high,I have a fever and a sore throat. I feel better today but I was wondering if we are more prone to colds and illnesses post op. I am guessing we must be but I am wondering if anyone feels they get ill more often post op.

I am 12 months post op and I also had the flu jab in November

Hope you start to feel better soon xxxx

Sorry to hear you are feeling poorly, but glad you are feeling a bit better today. There are a lot of horrid bugs going around at the minute, and no-one's at their best in the winter season. I have to say pre-op I rarely got ill & I seem to be the same post-op too....hopefully with spring approaching your immune system will buck-up a bit xxx
