My surgery for breast augmentation is scheduled for 1/20. I am currently on amoxicillin for strep throat (I had a positive strep test yesterday) and now I have managed to contract hand, foot, mouth disease.

As much as I am anxious to have the procedure I want to make sure my recovery is as smooth as possible!
