Hi Ladies
My recovery has been up and down but Thursday late afternoon (8 days post op) I started feeling chills then steaming hot took paracetamol but temperature went up called GP at 5.50pm reception told me to ring back at 8am! .. I then put the phone down and rang 111 as temperature was 39.3 an hour and a half after paracetamol and lots of cold water. Advised to go to local minor injuries to get wounds assessed but they would not treat me so off to A&E.... I haven't been a patient in A&E for 39 years so it was very bizarre...
Got to A&E at 7pm left after 11pm. Results so far show inflammation, wounds were checked doc was happy with them but my breathing has been very slightly wheezy which I 've never had before after 4 previous GA' s. I think he suspects chest infection..again i've never had one of those either lol!
I'm still hot 38 - 38.6 despite antibiotics, paracetamol and ibuprofen. Hoping the Antibiotics do their job soon.
Breast unit will see me Monday if no improvement over weekend. It's so frustrating as I feel weaker now than first few days post op....  xx
Hope all goes well for you at your appointment on Monday, let us know what they say if you are having radiotherapy.
