Need some quality suggestions, STAT! I'm sick!

[KillahBee]

So, I have motherfucking surgery on Friday and I've been sick since Monday (congested, sore throat, head a bit cloudy, body aches). If I don't get better by tomorrow afternoon, we will have to reschedule the surgery, which will set off a whole fucking world of issues for me.

What can I do to get better quick? Any hints, secrets? I know some of you country bumpkins have some homemade remedies that gramama passed down to you.

Obstacle 1: I can't take any medicine, herbal supps, or aspirin
Obstacle 2: I am on a liquid diet pre-surgery

Thanks for all suggestions!!!

OJ lots of it

OJ lots of it

I'd avoid OJ as it contains high levels of sugar which isn't what your immune system needs when you're full of cold.

Plenty of rest and stay warm. A hot drink containing lemon, cayenne, ginger, elderberry and garlic will help.

 

[KillahBee]

Thanks Jayc.

I called my surgeon and they want me to get checked out by a local gen pract. doc. Then they'll decide if we can do the surgery or not.

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Vit. C tablets uber dosages boost immune system.

sleep is super important, and as much as I hate it when people tell me to stay away from dairy, it actually does seem to reduce the amount of mucous in my system when I'm sick

 

[Gambino]

a few deep hits of quality 'erb will put the mind at ease

 

[GoldenDelicious]

warm room, more food than usual (more liquid then) lots of rest. ie take the day off and sleep. drugs wouldnt really help at this point anyway, so its all about supporting your immune system as best as possible using food & rest

good luck mang

Trust me man, I am there. I 100% support this and this mindset that I already have will make my recovery even better/quicker/more successful.

Going to see my general practicioner at noon. He'll assess the situation and make a judgment on whether or not I can do the surgery on Friday.

Postive thoughts.....positive thoughts....

Follow PRE-OP suggestions to the T, or they will not operate. I know it sucks having to reschedule but its better than taking extra risks (bleeding, etc.) NO ASPIRIN...Vit E, etc.

 

[cmdubs]

talk about bad timing man. fuck. only suggestion I can offer is taking tons of vitamin c. I'll take upwards of 1600 mg/day when I've got a cold I need to kick fast. good luck bro.

 

[Smurfy]

Killah, that does indeed suck but hopefully you can pull together enough in order to be well for the surgery date.

hey bro, what you doing for surgery? back right? what exactly happened to it to hurt it and what exactly kind of surgery are you having? I see you mentioned it in the past but couldn't find the original thread about the conditions.

 

[stilleto]

good luck with the surgery.

Back - I was doing squats 2x a week (real smart) and tweaked it...during a w/u set. Ended up being an extruding disc that has been impinging my nerves BIG TIME. I am having a microdisectomy, on both sides. L5

I did the same thing, I was in pain for about a year, never had the surgery, it seems to have went away.

Sucks too, I was at 455 x 5 - I just dropped it on the ground.

This stuff is amazing, i can't remember the last time I was sick. Whenever you feel a little sickness comming on you drink a few of these a day and the symptoms dissapear the next day or two....TRUST ME ON THIS!!

 

[KillahBee]

My ex girlfriend used to come by my office and make me a cup of that stuff when I was sick a few times.

 

[pdaddy]

and......did it clear things up?

 

[pdaddy]

Also drink a ton of green tea for the phytochemicals and antioxidants
