I have got a minor hernia op tomorrow under general. Developed a sinus type cold with lots of green emissions ? Will they still go ahead do you think ? Chest not too bad, just a little tight.

I would think probably not, especially as its an elective op not an emergency. Respiratory infections do quite significantly increase the chance of breathing probs from anaesthetic. Maybe give them a ring now and ask? If they wont do it anyway maybe they could give the slot to someone else?
