A bit of a fever

Our visiting nurse picked up on a small fever I have today.  After speaking with my surgeon's physician's assistant the current thought is there may be a bit of fluid in my lungs.  They've taken some blood for testing, and in the meantime have prescribed more walking and more breathing excercises to rid the lungs of fluid, if any, plenty of fluids to drink, and a bit of tylenol to keep the fever down.

Generally though it's great to be home, and only waking up at night on my schedule, not the hospital's!

Chris,

Glad to hear that all is going so well.

Keep up the good behavior and you'll be out slinging mud on the bike and thrashing cones in the car in no time.

So glad you are home Chris. Recovery is much more fun when you have your family around you. Take care of that fever. Rest well!
