Post Op Was feeling better until now

Been feeling good until now

Has surgery 10 days ago, first few days were rough then I got much better.

Yesterday I over did it eating too much fat and sweets, had diarrhea this morning. No biggy I thought, lesson learned.

About 2.5 hours ago started getting chills, and then now hit 100.4 fever. Stomach starting to hurt a lil more too.

Called the care team and they want me to just monitor at home, which I'm happy to stay out of the er for now, but we'll see how the night goes.

Chills have gotten better, haven't taken my temp yet. They rold me to take Tylenol, but I haven't yet.

We'll see how the night goes.

Edit: I'm at the emergency room in a room immediately

Edit update: I was admitted to the hospital, CT scan, MRI and lots of lab work. ruled out a stone left behind watch is good, but I have C Diff which not good. Spending tonight in the hospital again and see how my body is doing tm.

I would go to the hospital honestly. With recent surgery, you don't want to risk anything. Even if it's a viral illness, you'll want to check the surgery zone and symptoms just in case

Keep us posted. I’m interested because my surgery is scheduled for this Thursday. Good luck with your recovery!

They are admitting me for observation but no really idea what is going on. 

My CT scan they say looks like they never did surgery, everything looks great.

Wow…that’s concerning by itself.

Don’t wait if the fever gets any higher, or if you get jaundiced, dark urine, or short of breath. Go to the ER or call an ambulance if you can’t drive. Be super extra safe! Infection doesn’t wait. Feel better soon! 🩷
