Fever

This morning I woke up with a 102*F fever. I was also calling Dr. Kaufmann's cell phone directly. He gave me the number and said if I needed anything to call him. I try not to bother any of my doctors unless it's a real emergency. I justified running fever shortly after surgery to be an emergency. I was right. Josh took me into Dr. Kaufmann's office that morning and they did some blood work and checked my vitals which were pretty low (explained why I felt like I was going to pass out). My blood work didn't show infection but to be on the safe side I was prescribed a Z-pac. This was not how I wanted to wake up for sure! Looks like I won't be at work tomorrow either. Ugh...I just wish I could heal and be done with this! On a positive side, I didn't have to admitted to the hospital or ER and I got a bunch of really thoughtful cards in the mail from caring friends and family.
