I have had some complications post-op from the hysterectomy and and just now strong enough to pick up the laptop. I became deathly ill Monday with fever and extreme fatigue, and had to be carried in to the doctor's office. I think it is an infection setting up, as I have started responding to the antibiotics. Today, I will limp in to have an IVP done in a couple of hours, and then see the GYN, to see what all of the blood work tell him. I might have to go back in to the hospital.
God help me, folks, but, after you have your scoliosis surgery, you will become a "doctor and hospital snob". The care, research and planning that goes into our back surgeries is phenomenal. It is hard NOT to measure the level of care you receive anywhere else, to that standard. I tried to explain to the GYN that i really had to make sure no infection set in and would need extra antibiotics to protect all of the implants in my back. Because, they can't see your reconstructed spine, it's hard to comprehend. Oh well, he is very concerned and wants to make sure he did not nick a bowel or ureter. IT WILL BE OKAY.... Pam and Susie, I saw where you had asked about me, I am SO pleased that you all care about me !! Thanks for letting me vent, I hope to learn some things that will help us scolies cope when these outside issues come along....
