I agree with what others have said - YOU have to put YOU first and put your foot down with your family!!! All kinds of things can happen if you don't do what you need to do to allow your body time to heal! First of all, you aren't supposed to be lifting anything heavy - nada, nothing. And you aren't supposed to be pushing and pulling on a vacuum, broom, or mop!! I don't mean to be "gross" but - if you don't get the rest you need and continue, things inside could not heal like they are supposed to and then things could start falling (i.e. bladder, etc). Before you know it, you are back in for more surgery. As for the temp - you may be trying to start with a post-op infection. Please call your doctor on this.
Vent all you want to!! That's what we are here for - each other. I'm glad the surgery, for the most part, went okay. Now you just have to have the time to heal and recover and it takes time. It literally took me 4 months to get back to feeling "normal" after mine.
Sending you lots of hugs and prayers!! Please keep us posted.
