I woke up early the day after my mediport surgery, the first thing I noticed was the small fever - the one thing you don't want after any kind of surgery. Although it was low-grade, it still freaked me out all day. I had to stay home from work, which made me feel worse. Later that night I developed horrible leg pain and I had a serious freak out over embolisms and DVTs. I called three people to ask their opinion before I finally realized it was knee/shin bone pain, not muscle or vein pain. The final candle on the cake was the big, red, hot rash I developed from an allergic reaction to the OR soap/cleanser they use. I spent the next two days scratching myself to death.
I had absolutely no energy. I literally sat in my fat zebra armchair all day, watching Netflix, drinking fluids and either crocheted or dozed off. I admit I was useless - the whole day.
I feel like I've been branded. Or like I have some sort of tracking device now....
