I'm 12 days post op. I'm dehydrated. I have been having a very hard time getting my liquids in. I'm averaging 18-30 ounces a day (inc Protein drinks). In addition to not drinking enough, I'm still nursing my son. I have had dizzy spells when standing up, felt faint, weak and extra tired. However, I don't feel terrible. So I'm not convinced that this is an emergency.

I have no insurance and had my surgery in TJ. I plan to go see my PCP tomorrow. I don't think she can give me IV fluids but I figured I would start there.

I also have 2 incision sites that are infected. Green pus oozing out of one of them. My PCP will give me antibiotics, so again, it doesn't seem like an emergency (ER visit) situation.

The reason I'm posting this, is because I have a slight fever, horrible headache and have had some chest palpitations.

I don't want to spend the money at the ER and expose myself to the flu. But, I don't want to make an ignorant decision if it was truly an emergency. I have called my PCP and its after hours, no on call Dr info. I also emailed my patient coordinator around noon and haven't heard back yet.

Please tell me what you would do in my situation. Go to ER tonight, or PCP in the morning. Thank you!!

Thank god! I was worried! Be safe!

So glad you went in. Hope you're feeling better.

Glad all is well! Get some rest and keep focusing on fluids .

How r u doing?
