Is it normal to have shortness of breath a week after surgery?

Stephanie I sure hope they figure this out. I know you hate being there but I am so glad you went. I was afraid it was a pulmonary embolism to be truthful. They had just covered that in my pre op class and it sounded like they described.

Praying they figure it out and you get back on the road to recovery.

Stay in touch. Amazing how much we can worry about each other.

Steph, you are in my prayers. I thought for sure you had a PE.

Keep us updated!!

I am still here and they are still not sure what it is. I asked the doctor who just talked to me to write it down for me. I feel good. I am pretty sure she said my acid levels are high. And they don't know why. I will get you guys better info soon!

Hope they figure it out and you get to go home some... Best wishes for a quick resolution

Well I am getting some sugar water in my iv. They were saying something about the acids in my body are there cause I have no sugar or carbs to help it. Something like that and something with starvation. I am eating. Who knows.

Steph, wow hope they get you straightened out. I don't wanna be roomies with you . Prayers. I'm really glad you feel good! That's a start.

So pretty much I need sugar and carbs in my diet to make me healthy again! I will be here another night. Lol.

Yea!! At least you know what the issue is. :-)
