Worried?

[bluenena2016 5]

I'm 5 days post-op had my surgery in Tijuana Mexico. My friend that went with me had her surgery right after mine just called me and said that she's in the hospital with a severe infection, that if I feel any pain or have a fever to go to the hospital right away. I do have some pain but I don't know if it's just normal pain because I'm only 5 days POST-OP. Not sure if I should just monitor my temperature and watch for a fever. Any thoughts?

Monitor your temp, take your heart rate, inspect your incision to insure they are healing well. Or go to your doctor here and tell them what happened to your friend and see if they can run a sepsis blood test or something. But your temp and blood pressure will tell a lot.

I would watch for fever, lower back pain.. Make sure you stay hydrated and are going to the bathroom...

Who are you seeing for follow up care? Call him/her and let them know about your concerns.

She just texted me from the hospital, she has a leak that is what caused her infection. They are flying her to Phoenix for repair. I am not as worried for myself now, but please keep her in your prayers.
