I can't sleep. Took temp, still 99. The girls are avoiding me directly but staying in the area around me. They are so good at picking up on people's needs. They know to steer clear of meowmy as I yelled at the lawn guy for sleeping in my lawn chairs on my porch earlier. He had the nerve to call me a b***h and I had the nerve to tell him I am calling the landlord. HA! He was all apologies then! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18086#post-399507 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 15:13:47 +0000 beth 399507@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>i think you caught a bug from some where or someone,not the surgery. i would drink lots of fluids , have betty and wilma bring you cool packs, i am so glad you are seeing that neurosurgeon tommrow . take some tylenol.. if your temp goes up you need to go to the ER. keep me posted on how you are !! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18086#post-399443 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 13:47:01 +0000 mollycat71 399443@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>You know I bet it is an Islamabad bug!

On its own, I wouldn't be too panicked about the slightly elevated temp. There are a host of reasons that could happen, and this far post-op I wouldn't be inclined to suspect infection. But, as Buttercup said, you need to be very mindful of the other indicators of a potential problem like the stiff neck, vomiting, dizziness, confusion, etc. All of those would indicate the need for immediate attention. But as Buttercup says, you will know if you just don't feel "right".</p> <p>In the meantime, take tylenol q 4, and I would put some ice packs on my forehead, if I were you. It would help with your headache, too. And a lukewarm bath.</p> <p>If your temp goes up at all, then you need to be seen.</p> <p>Mucho hugs. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18086#post-399317 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 09:31:52 +0000 ailuromaniac 399317@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Better to be a living pain in the health care pro's posterior than a dead model patient. If you don't feel right, or have any of Buttercups symptoms. Keep calling.</p> <p>And stay in touch here. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18086#post-399314 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 09:28:13 +0000 SylMiaFelixMomma 399314@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Sending some soothing healing thoughts to MC. Hope you get seen by the doctor asap. Thank you to our TDK nurses for posting helpful advice. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18086#post-399312 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 09:26:26 +0000 krazikat 399312@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm not a nurse yet Amy but if you get really concerned and can't see your doctor go to the ER. Better to be safe than sorry. It is possible you have something not related to your surgery and you're just a little under the weather. Don't take chances if your "gut" fears something is not quite right. My prayers that you are fine and feeling normal very soon.{{{Amy}}} </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18086#post-399311 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 09:26:19 +0000 Buttercup 399311@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>In the mean time take some tylenol,drink lots of fluids and get some rest. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18086#post-399309 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 09:24:46 +0000 Buttercup 399309@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi Mollycat,I've felt lousy and had a 100 temp just from the local bugs around here. In itself 100 isn't too bad but with your history I would be very wary of a stiff neck,headache worse than usual,nausea and vomiting, any confusion and since you are alone I would call 911 to get yourself seen urgently if you just don't plain feel right. You know your body best. Please keep in touch today to let us know and certainly tell us if you go to be seen or cute policemen will be wandering the place again.<br /> [[[[[Amy}}}} </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18086#post-399278 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 09:02:45 +0000 CheetahBoysmommy 399278@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>And don't forget to drink (water, not booze).

In<br /> thy good time, restore her to health, and enable her to lead<br /> the residue of her life in thy fear, and to thy glory; and grant<br /> that finally she may dwell with thee in life everlasting; through<br /> Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/18086#post-399252 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 08:30:20 +0000 mollycat71 399252@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hi! I really feel lousy today. I took my temp and it is 100. My normal is 97.4, ALWAYS. I called the surgeon's office and he is doing surgery today. I have a followup appointment tomorrow so they said it can be addressed then. Just take it easy today and they will put a note on my chart. So my questions are: 1. Could this be related to my surgery or just a coincidence (too far post op?)? 2. Should I be worried about a temp of 100? 3. I have ice packs on right now, any other suggestions? 4. Yes, I have a headache today. Any advice you can offer is always welcome. Thanks so much! </p>
