I'm coming up to two weeks post op.
I was recovering quite nicely but had to go back into London on Tuesday, a week after my operation as they hadn't deflated me and a 90%-er was making life very difficult. Anyway since then I've been having severe pain and although my temperature is not that high I'm having hot and cold sweats.
What have I done?
First things first. I was implanted on March 30 and by the end of April they were removing my implant to save my life as I had developed septic shock. Like you, my temp wasn't that high but I started getting the sweats and then having hallucinations ... I really didn't think I was that sick. Go see your doctor before you die from sepsis.
Next, may I suggest that you create a signature. It makes things much easier to answer your questions without asking a lot of questions. Here's how you do it
Click on your name in the top right corner and select "user control panel"
Then under the big letters "User Control Panel" there is a row of words... select "Profile"
Then down the left had side of the "User Control Panel" select "Edit Signature" (You might have Create Signature or something. I don't know exactly what you'll get because I already have a signature to edit)
Most guys put something like what I have, but you can put whatever you want. Here is mine -
"AMS 700 (18 + 2 rte's). Implanted March 30, 2017 by Dr. Brock of London, Ont, CANADA. Great surgeon. Went in to septic shock and had to have implant removed April 29, 2017. I'm from Belleville, Ontario, CANADA. Appt. for consult for second attempt is on November 6, 2017... I can't wait."
Don't get too carried away with the doctor like his name, address, phone number, etc (anything that looks like advertising for him).. you can certainly say Dr. Jones (great Dr.)
If you need further help, please ask, that's what I'm here for.
