surgery complications - or what?
I'm still at rehab and am feeling stronger and more able to do the PT exercises well. Other than pain at surgery site and being tired I feel okay.
My hgb was 8.8 last week at the doctor's office. That's pretty normal for me. The day after surgery it was 7.9, then 7.8, today 7.3. The surgical doctor said wait one more day to see if it gets better. If not then he'll order a tranfusion. I didn't lose much blood during surgery.
I had big diarrhea on Sun or Mon and again today. They ordered stool samples so are 2 have come back with blood in the urine. The ortho doc said I'd have to talk with my primary about it & what they want to do, What could be going on here --- caused from? This has really got me worried.
