Bedhead 158 Posted February 13, 2012 I'm 6 days out tonight and have started to run a fever around 102. Doc has me on Tylenol until tomorrow as long as I don't have any increasing pain. If the pain gets worse or the fever doesn't respond to Tylenol- to the ER I go. And I am pretty much shitting myself. Leaking has been the one aspect of this surgery that scared me the most. Here's to hoping my body is just having a hard time adjusting! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tenshi 34 Posted February 13, 2012 Best of luck, lady. I haven't been feeling quite 100% myself for the past few days, so perhaps there's just a bug going around.... and not a leak! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iwant2Bthatgirl 28 Posted February 13, 2012 Oh no! I'm sorry that you are sick. Hang in there tonight - I'm sure many of us will be praying for you and hoping that you just have a bug!! Keep us updated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Camper 266 Posted February 13, 2012 Bedhead generally with a bug you do not have pain? I am nervous for you darlin, I will say a prayer for you. If you have not been feeling better the last couple days and now fever, not sounding good. I am shocked your doc is willing to let you go through the night. Personally, I would not wait. I almost blew it big time with my abscess by waiting fortunately caught it before the infection burst into my peritoneal cavity. With a fever you could also dehydrate. Please keep sipping.

Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted February 13, 2012 If you are freaking out, be safe and go to the ER. Yes, it a pain, but at least your feel better knowing. Your health is #1. Hoping it's ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lissa 2,631 Posted February 13, 2012 I agree with the above. It's worth the peace of mind to have it evaluated now rather than waiting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

circa 333 Posted February 13, 2012 I definitely would not wait - even if its not a leak and say a flu bug, you could easily dehydrate and be in a bit of trouble. I'd go to the ER. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lissa 2,631 Posted February 13, 2012 Oh, I hope it's nothing, but better to check and be sure, IMO. Good luck!! ((Hugs)) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
