Hi Noddzy,
I'm going to assume that your CRS indicated that the surgery was successful, and that you had no signs of infection. After I had my LIS (about three weeks ago), I felt OK upon discharge from the hospital. However, later than evening when the anesthetics began to wear off, I started feeling terrible pain. I had a prescription for painkillers (vicodin) and after popping two, the pain went away.
The next morning, I did feel a dull pain in my rear, so out of fear, I took some more pain killers. Gradually however, the pain went away and since then I have taken no more painkillers.
I think that in my case I had become acutely sensitive to every sensation in my bum. So, any little flutter, any little twitch, any contraction was magnified and my brain went into overdrive - was I seeing the return of AF?
Too, I was still on my vegetable soup only diet, so any minor change in the consistency of my BM caused a panic - was I going to suffer from incontinence?
The point is: after suffering through AF and having surgery on your bum it takes a little time for you and your bum to adjust to life after LIS.
The fever, though, is another matter. I suggest you call your CRS for advice.
Good luck and keep us informed of your recovery.
