Trouble

What started out as a good night for Karen took a turn for the worse. It seemed like she was finally able to sleep well, but it didn't last. First there was some stiffness and (more) soreness. That was followed by chills and sweats, and then a fever of 103 °F. She seems to have some kind of infection. They're worried it's related to the operation, but they took out the catheter just in case it's a bladder or urinary tract infection. She's able to void without it, so that's good. They took her off fluids again, but she does get to drink a bottle of disgusting contrast for a CT scan.
