The last few days have not been fun. They kept me over night Monday even though it should have been an outpatient surgery. I woke up at 2am with a bad headache that continued to worsen throughout the day. My blood pressure began to drop Tuesday to as low as 82/52, which posed some concern. They were able to get it to come up to 100/56. They released me at approximately 4:00 Tuesday. My headache worsened through the night and I spiked a 102.2 fever. The headache became so unbearable that my general practictioner told me to go to the ER. They ran blood cultures (which I won't know results of for a few days) and gave me an IV cocktail for my head. My blood pressure was lower again yesterday while I was there...90/51. Not quite sure what is up with all of that...or anything else for that matter. On the bright side, the terrible pain I had experienced for 8 weeks on my left side is GONE!! I feel better knowing that my pain and suffering is validated and I was not just making this up in my head. I am just not happy that my surgery failed and I have to go through this process again with an additional flap surgery. Very depressing, but I am accepting it!! Better than having cancer any day!!
Oh well...guess I will just sport my uniboob!! Maybe I will just always turn and face everyone with my right side...lol. I have opted to try a prostheses on the left instead of removing saline from the right.
I will keep you posted with any new changes!
