my grandmother had surgery and she had a really high tempeture. the doctor didnt tell us of it we found it out in the reports. can it be safe?

There is no way that any doctor would do a routine surgery with someone having a 106 degree temperature....in fact no one can survive a 106 degree temperature for very long.  If your Grandmother had surgery with that high of temp then there must have been no choice than to do it...she was at the brink of death with that type of fever.

As a rule, no.\nIt could arise \n1. as answered already, if the surrounds are above normal body temp (the body while alive being cooled by sweat evaporation),\n2 If the body cooled towards equilibration with the surrounds, then the surrounds warmed up above the lowered temperature which the body had reached,\n3 If the evaporation of moisture cooled the body, it could certainly cool the skin significantly, but I suspect the skin would dry long before this cooled the average body temperature below that of the surrounds. (perhaps more significant if wearing a lot of wet clothes if a dry wind)\nAny other circumstances anyone? - even more bizarre ideas such as death from hypothermia following massive ingestion of ice??

I have never heard of this and had 3 kids.\nI would not use the hot tub but a regular bath tub or swimming pool. there should be no problem. if you are that worried ask your dr.

My friend Ruth has had this surgery, she is in her 80ties  She chose the fusion  and now can not raise her hands overhead, she does not mind not being able to hang curtains, and has no pain . I am not certain about the recovery time ?  However I know that she is very happy with the surgery that was done .

Yes it is. One of the common biological responses to increased temperature of the body is an expansion of the blood vessels in an effort to dissipate heat. In the ears, the skin is rather thin so this expansion can be seen quite clearly as a generally red tinge.

dearest grandma, it is what it is and they have the best treatments ever! It has been proven that having a good attitude and positive outlook, helps the mental health  and prognosis in it's self. advanced! My own mother survived a double masestomy and I have to double think an unknown fear away, everyday! So! My Advise is, Don't assume it, assume it is not and be on your day. Until you are told OR YOU ACTUALLY FEEL DIFFERENT!?OR is your grandma lonley? Maybe she needs extra family time. Parks with ducks?

That depends on a few things. You need to ask this of your surgeon, and follow the discharge instructions. The best person to tell you this is the person who DID your operation.

I've never heard any evidence to lead me to believe that is true, but that does not mean it isn't of course.\n\nI do know that it is a really bad idea to eat in a microwave oven. Very uncomfortable, and if anyone turns it on, you can be seriously injured. Avoid doing so whenever possible.

Sounds like Raynaud's Syndrome.  My mom and I both have this.  I've heard that there are some meds you could be given, but you're really best to just do your best to keep warm.  It's not usually harmful, but do talk with your doctor about it, as it can be a symptom of other circulatory problems.

Question: As a child did you ever run a really high temp? My brother ran a sudden high fever(cause never found, of 105 and soaring)that nearly killed him. He was wrapped in towels and buried in a tub of ice to bring the fever down. But while waiting on the ice to be brought he was bathed from head to toe in rubbing alchol. At that time the doctor did the only things he knew to do. The fever came down but my brothers normal temp of 98.6 was changed to 96.0. So a temp of 99.0 is not low grade fever anymore; at least not for him.  Are you under great amounts of stress? Stress can do wild things to your body. Under tremendos stress  the muscles literally separated from the bones in my chest area. Doctor's at first thought it was a heart attack but my pulse did not indicate such to be the case. I felt as if a huge weight had been droped on my chest, but it was stress. Vicatin would not even allow my body any relief, and the doctors had said if it didn't help that morphine was the next step.Fianlly, after several months of just letting nature run its course; I finally stopped hollering with every breath. I would shake like I was in a ice house on min. and feel normal the next; but my temp. was up and down like a yoyo. Do you have any other symptoms, coughing, sneezing,dizzy spells, black outs, nausea? Have you been to a doctor yet? If not; I strongly reccommend you go see one immediately. Keep in mind not all diseases or illness's cause the same reaction in a person. You can take 50 people with the flu. Some it turns into more upper respitory infections, and some of those can be fatal. Others just feel crappy and tired. While some can't see much difference in the flu and what most people would call a bad cold. My temp. runs 98.6; 99.0 is low grade, and any thing more than 102.6 I start calling the doctor. As I said I strongly reccomend you go straight to a doctor and have them check you out. I wish you well.

I had a Total Hysterectomy a year ago at 39.  It was like hitting a brick wall at 90 miles an hour with the hormonr change.  My surgery was at 7 AM and by 6 PM the Hot Flashes started!  Side effects...... WEIGHT GAIN....HOT FLASHES.....DEPRESSION....and LOSS OF SEX DRIVE.\n\nThose are the big four.  It sure is not fun.

it has to do with the tempature differce and the hewmidity in the air. ask your doctor to explain it in english(lol) so that you know for sure what's goin on. dont be afraid to ask, i mean considering it is your kids life your talking about. hope your 4 yr old gets better.

Yes, that is fine and within the normal range.  Although the quoted average is 98.6 degrees F (37 degrees C), it can vary by several degrees higher or lower.  Your temperature will vary depending on different factors, such as your metabolism and how fast or slow it is, time of day, if you've exercised recently, etc.\n\nThis also will depend on which method you have been using to take your temperature.  Typically the most reliable temperature reading is either tympanic (your ear) or rectal.  Rectal temp is more reliable because it is more invasive, and it is going to give you a higher reading of your temperature than an oral reading as it is closer to your body's core.  Least accurate, and the one that will give you the lowest temperature reading, is axillary temp (underneath your armpit) as it is the least invasive.  So another thing to consider is whether you have been using the same thermometer and the same method--tympanic, rectal, oral, or axillary--to obtain your temperature, and whether or not it has been the same time of day every day, etc.\n\nSo the bottom line is, generally you should not worry if you think your temperature is low, as what is regular for one person can be higher or lower than the average.  If you still are concerned, though, you may want to consult with your doctor.

Ive heard it doesnt work as well as the more drastic surgery but it is a lot safeer. You will be fine

100f is a slight fever. keep an eye on it thou.  keep giving her antibiotics. I'm sure the doc gave her some. Right? Well, did he do a exam on her tonsils?? My kids just did. They had strep throat. Give her med. for pain like Motrin or Tylenol and will help with fever. Mine were at 103f and Motrin chewable pills knocked it out. The fever...Good luck.. If all else fails and the fever does not go away. Take her to the hospital right away. Don't overdose her...... Yes she may not want to eat but keep fluids in her that is very important for dehydration...she may be having, as I like to say to my 5 kids...growing pains in their legs....L

That is so sweet that you are concerned for her safety. This is vital because both of my great-grandmas, when they fell, they went downhill & died within a year. I'm glad you are concerned.\n\nI didn't read through this, but I found it. Hope it helps!\nhttp://www.rehabnurse.org/education/RNC-235.pdf#search='safety%20from%20elderly%20falling'
