I feel like crap today and really need your prayers!  I've had a fever every night at bedtime since I came home, but today it won't leave.  The incisions and the drains look fine and I'm already taking drugs for a UTI.  The surgeon said he thinks the little capillaries in my lungs are collapsed (which is normal for someone who's been through what I've been through, I'm not taking deep enough breaths to keep them open), which invites infection.  I had  "general" antibiotic called in today and I reacted badly to it about an hour after I took it.  Would feeling like you're about to pass out for an hour and a half be considered a bad reaction?  The doc says I need to keep taking it for the 7 days and that will go away in a day or two--here's to hoping!!!  In the meantime, I can't control the fever and I feel miserable.  My pain isn't too bad at this point, certainly it's still there, but not the major issue.  Will everyone please join with us in praying that the infection/fever can be controlled soon so I can focus on the rest of me healing?  THANK YOU!!!
