I’ve been scheduled for shoulder replacement on Sept. 27 and I’m ready to back out. If they close down visits for family I know I won’t have it done.....if they hold me over for the night I want my family to check on me. One big hospital has closed down their emergency rooms at 3 of their hospitals because of Covid they say. Wouldn’t it be something if I got Covid in the hospital? That’s my other fear.
Talk to your doc, but plan on the surgery getting canceled.
Texas ran out of medical oxygen this week and is taking commercial lox.
If they are doing that, you are at the bottom of the priority
We’re just not seeing that kind of stuff here. 16% rise in cases down here since May 11th.
Sept 27 is still a month away — by then depending on where you are, the surge should be passed. That being said, if there were still high CoVID numbers in your region, I would delay any elective surgery if it were me.
