TKR Timetolive's Nov 9th TKR Post -OP<<

Chills and sweating might due to weaning from the morphine. I'm really praying you turn a corner soon.

Ah Janis so sorry to hear you had a dreadful day, I pray you will be able to get a good nights sleep and wake up refreshed. Sending lots of hugs.

 

[Timetolive]

Still nauseous and sick. I have never felt this terrible in my life.

 

[Celle]

Let your doctor know, Janis. It could be the antibiotic, in which case a different one might not be so unpleasant.

 

[KarriB]

With tomorrow being Friday I'd definitely let the dr know if you aren't feeling better. A whole weekend like this is too much.

 

[Timetolive]

Thank you @KarriB and @Celle, I have an appointment in the morning with my GP. I only have 2 more of the Augmentin to take. I hope she doesn't want me to take another round!


Today is the second anniversary of my mother's death. I sure have been missing her through all of this. There is nothing like your Momma when you are sick.

Are you elevating enough? I would think ankle swelling was because of leg being down too often.

Just back from PT and I got to 110 and 4! I am so happy with myself. This is despite all the swelling I have. I did have to stop at the end I was getting so nauseated. I sure hope this passes soon!

You are amazing

@Timetolive good news about your ROM. I'm sorry about your mom. Mine has been gone 3 years and I know how tough it is going through something like this and not being able to pick up the phone and talk to her. There's nothing like a mother's love.

Hoping and praying for the best for you, Janis.

 

[KarriB]

Talk to her, Janis. It may give you some comfort. I feel so badly for you.

 

[Celle]

My Mum's been gone for 15 years now and I still find myself wishing I could ask her something, or wanting to show her something. I don't think we ever stop missing our mums, but the pain of losing them does decrease.

 

[macduf387]

Feel better soon lots of hugs

 

[Thesoutherncook]

Hey, sweet friend. So sorry you're having such a rough time BUT glad you're seeing your GP tomorrow. Good plan!!! I hope you can rest tonite. Big hug coming your way! And prayers for healing and peace.

Janis Talk to your mom. My mom passed away a year ago in October and I asked her to intercede for me if she could. I know I did start to feel better. There is no one like your mom when you're hurting. I'm happy you see your GP tomorrow. I hope you finally start to feel better soon. We are all here for you.

 

[New England Librarian]

Sorry you are having such a difficult time! This is a lot to bear, especially when we are low on patience to begin with. Hoping the sun begins to shine on you tomorrow

 

[Timetolive]

As always, I am truly blessed by the outpouring of friendship and care from all of you. The doctor felt as all of you and I did, that the diverticulitis, the antibiotic, and the morphine withdrawal were all contributing to my illness. She told me not to take the last Augmentin and wrote me a prescription for Cipro/Fla?? If I started to hurt over the weekend. I also had bloodwork done to look at the white blood cells - to check the infection. I cannot begin to tell you how badly I have felt. The nausea has been terrible and the diarrhea debilitating. I am not able to keep anything in my system. I am still having chills and sweating, which is most likely the morphine. The doctor felt this all should abate in a day or so. Sorry if this is TMI, but you all have been so kind to offer suggestions and thoughts. I can tell the morphine is out of my system because Ralph is getting crankier. I will take Tylenol when I am able to keep things down.

I do hope everyone is doing well, and please forgive me for not being supportive to all of you. Hopefully in a day or so, the nausea will be gone and I will be able to concentrate better. Love and blessings to you all.

Hopefully everything does clear up in the next few days. I am so sorry for everything that you are enduring at the moment. I couldn't imagine going thru the diverticulitis and the withdraw. You are one strong woman to be handling all your going thru. Sending prayers

I hope you soon start to feel better, Janis. You've had a miserable time so far, and surely you're due for a break!
