Had tah two weeks ago. Guess things went
well. (large fibroid pressing on bladder
necessitated week long foley catheter.
Ouch!), but otherwise o.K until I noticed
an inch and a half long bulge over the top
of the incision. Everything healing up
great, except in area of bluge. Hurt to
stand up, walk. Only felt good lying on
back. Thought it might be hernia.
(forgot for a minute and stupidly pulled
out very heavy dining room chair a few
days after getting home from hospital.)
dumb. Anyways, Dr. Didn't think it was
anything but sent me for pelvic cat scan
with barium and contrast yesterday. Oh my
god!! That stuff is horrible!! My guts
are killing me! Can't wait until it is
out of me, (if it ever gets out). Well,
last night, (about 10 hours after
cat/barium/dye), woke up with chills and
horrible headache/burning behind eyes.
Took temp. 99.9 have not had a fever up
to this point. Called radiology dept.
They said cat/barium/dye had nothing to do
with this. Could the bulge be an abcess?
It has gotten less painful in the last few
hours, (of course, after I did all
that!!!! Figures!!), but that's about the
same time this feaver cropped up.

Fever Two Wks Post Op Posted: 04-27-06 15:22pm
I really feel for you, and wish I had
better advice to give than what I am about
to share. I am two weeks post op with
fever, can barely sit constantly have to
urinate or have bm, was discharged 24hrs
after surgery, and the physicians could
care less. I am in the process of having
to move due to sale of home and
separation, and raise two boys. My heart
and pain are with you :(
