back in the hospital :(

So, I had been running an extremely low grade fever post op....between 99-100, however the doctor said that was okay since my body was healing. Yesterday was my first full day back to work, I work at home at a desk job but was still expecting some discomfort. But it just seemed like as the day wore on I felt worse and worse my pain was more and more intense.... just all in all a crummy day. Finally 530 rolled around and I basically crawl to the couch to spend the rest of my night. Got in about a quarter cup to a half cup of soup.... and started literally shivering and shaking because I was so cold. Took my temp and it was 101.3.... which is high enough that I am supposed to notify my doctor

My doctor called me right back and discuss the potential for a leak although was sure to mention that my surgery went extremely well.... but the pain that hadn't seen to subside since surgery, and now with a growing fever he suggested I go to the emergency room to be checked out. I was terrified :(

They ended up doing a barium and IV contrast CT scan, and discovered I have a 7 millimeter kidney stone.... that is not passing on its own :"(

So they admitted me last night from the emergency room and I am awaiting surgery for my kidney stone today... the good news is my surgery was a success and there is no issues with a leak or anything along those lines. However I certainly feel the saying, "when it rains it pours" sure is fitting today

this is not how I wanted to get 2 weeks off of work :/

Sorry to hear that although I too work from home and had a similar episode I went to my post-op appt to be released for work but I had been feeling very week and dehydrated. I 30 min post-op appt. turned into me being taken downstairs to ER, IV for fluids and a serious of test and scans - the found gallstones and I ended up staying in the hospital for 8 days in that time I had two upper GI's and then finally have a gallbladder removal. Things happen that we can't control.

But, I'm still here and i'm fine now. You take care and get well soon!
