Update on my surgery - I went home, and three days later began having severe pain in my incision, along with fever. I returned to the hospital, and they ended up finding out that I had a resistant staph infection (MRSA). I spent a total of 11 days additional in the hospital, and five days post hospital on vancomycin IV treatment. So far, no fever. I seem to be responding well. Please make sure your providers wash throughly before handling your wounds and incisions. My surgery would have been fine except for this complication. Also, if you've had surgery and are in pain or running a fever, don't wait to do something about it thinking it will pass. Better safe than sorry with any infection.
