I never get sick, haven't had a day off work in years but I am totally wiped. Tried getting dressed but had to go straight back to bed. I have literally no energy. My husband brought me a cup of tea and lifting it to my lips is almost too much energy. Could this total lack of energy be post op related? Up until now my recovery has been fine. No problems apart from struggling to sleep at night.
I haven't called my PS yet. My surgery in 4 days, I have a cold :( Mainly coughing no fever or chills. I haven't called my PS yet. I'll call tomorrow. Can my PS proceed with the surgery or will reschedule me?
Ever since three days ago I have had an on and off fever, followed with the sorest back and neck. My mom, since I'm 18, tells she won't take me to the doctor till it hits 101, when it is only 100.5, saying it isn't a real fever. I can hardly walk during the fevers, as the pain increases twice as much. I had the surgery Wenesday, and was fine for just one day after the pills ran out. Day after surgery I was able to go places and do things and now can't. Does this sound like a cold or infection?
I notice from watching videos, that some breast reduction patients can take a shower in a day or two after surgery and some others are made to wait for a week. This must be uncomfortable for people who need showers every day. I know this has to do with bacteria carried in water and that it could be a threat to someone with a recent surgery. Is it true that warm tap water carries more bacteria than cold tap water? Is there any way that a shower in cold water could keep you more safe than a hot shower?
I had a breast reduction 2 weeks ago and I am having the expected pain here and there and some swelling. My breast are very sensitive and I did not lose any nipple sensation. When I drink something cold I sometimes feel the cold sensation in my nipples. I didn't mention this to my doctor because it just sounds too weird, but it is happening. Is this normal?
