I had a hysterectomy 4/26. Starting 4/28 I started getting fevers (it actually started the night of the the 27, but the night nurse ignored me). The fever got as high as 102+ but they let me go home 4/29 as planned. I have been getting fevers daily and they are controlled with the motrin, but is this normal? I feel just awful when I get them, like l have the flu.
I also had issues when they took my catheter out (less than 24 hours later). I couldn't pee. They straight cath'd me once and ended up putting the catheter back in for about another 12 hours. I slowly began to pee on my own, but it is still really uncomfortable both in my abdomen and actually peeing (unless my bladder is really full then its just uncomfortable in my abdomen).
I am so miserable, I don't know what to do. My appetite doesn't really exist and I drink as much as I can, but I dread the consequences. Has anyone else ever experienced any of this or does anyone have any advice?
