Oh Boy. This Could Get Ugly.



Recommended Posts

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!

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!

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.

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.

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. ;)

I agree with the above. It's worth the peace of mind to have it evaluated now rather than waiting.

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.

I pretty much sobbed my way through 18oz of CT contrast/apple juice.< /p>

Oh, I hope it's nothing, but better to check and be sure, IMO. Good luck!! ((Hugs))
