HEat and pain in my whole leg!?

[rungout]

Ok I've posted a couple of times today. I'm having a really bad day. My whole leg feels hot. In fact my whole body feels hot. I'm going to take my temperature.no I'm good... normal. Is this normal? I mean to feel this bad? I'm 6 days out of surgery.

Did you take you temperature? I couldn't figure out if you meant you had or not. Your leg is hot but is it painful? Red? Swollen? Hard? What about your toes - can you move them? Feel them? If the answer to most of these is yes then I'd get yourself checked out just to be on the safe side. Better safe than sorry.

If not, then try to relax - keep icing and drinking plenty. You could be having a reaction to the pain meds, they are known to cause hot sweats. If that doesn't settle by Monday, the speak to your doctor about it on Monday.

And finally - day 6 - yeah, you'll feel this bad! Our bodies don't like being chopped about and they have a habit of letting us know!

Rungout,
Dang girl you are having enough fun to share with a twin today. I am 4 weeks out and today has not been one of my better days either. But I keep telling myself that by June I will be dancing at my 40th. And tomorrow I get to go to the city to see two of my Grandchildren woohoo!!!!! I have not seen them for a month. I think that is the longest I have ever been without seeing them. They are 10 and 6 and I just know they will have lots to tell me!!
I will pray that tomorrow will be a better day for you.
^i^

It was one o'dem days/weekends I think! I hit this low every 2-3 weeks and then I'm fine again. But it's good to let it out, isn't it, Judy?
