Fever Still
Mar 24, 2010
It's been 4 days since my last discharge. I'm still feeling exhausted, easily out of breath, getting chills and fevers if I don't take Tylenol every 4 hours. It's hard for me to tell if I feel that way cause I went through surgery or cause I have pneumonia or just cause I need to do nothing but relaxing...Maybe I do too much...Maybe there is something else going on...aggrr...I just want to start feeling better. The odd thing is, it really doesn't have anything to do with the bypass itself. Everything on that side of things is great. I'm tolerating my full liquid diet fine, no nausea/no vomiting, no extreme pain. Oh Oh Oh...and I lost 10 lbs this past week! I couldn't believe it. I stepped off and blink and tried it again and yep there is was, 245lbs.I'm so happy! I'm recovering well considering... I just feel beat up.Tonight I decided to not take the Tylenol. I had talk to one of the MD at the clinic today and we discussed me having the chills and maybe trying to see if my Temp would go up if I didn't take the Tylenol. Sure enough it went up to 102.1. I called the on call surgeon and he told me to take Tylenol and if I feel worse or if my temp continues to climb to go to the ER. AGAIN? NO....I took the Tylenol. An hour later my temp was down to 99.6. I still want to know what the heck is going on. I am on Cipro (which taste so disgusting). I know the Cipro is for UTI's but is it covering my Pneumonia? Is something else going on? I'm going to call the clinic again tomorrow. Something needs to be done.
