  3. I am 4 days post op and I'd have to say that it's amazing how much air we swallow, even normally. Everyday it gets more tolerable for me.
  4. I was just discharged yesterday and I had the low grade fever when I left. I've been using the aspirator and walking a ton. I feel like the fever is the most uncomfortable part of this as it makes me ache all over and have no energy. They told me to call or go in if it gets above 101.4. So this must all be normal.
  5. How long can I expect this low grade to last, if I'm doing the aspirator regularly and walking as much as possible?
  6. Hello, I'm 3 days post-op and I developed a low grade fever while in the hospital. They told me it was nothing to be concerned with, as my body is not taking deep breaths and my lungs are "sticky". The fever still comes and goes since I've been home. Has anyone else experienced a fever like this and also pain while taking deep breaths? Coughing about sends me through the roof.
