Hello!
I have meant to reply to your posts earlier, but just never had the time until now! My husband is young as well- 27- and we actually live in Middle Tennessee, too, though he had his surgery while we were living in Virginia.
My husband had his surgery a little over a year ago. He had a lot of complications immediately after, and ended up in the hospital for a long stay, but after he got over the hurdles, his recovery went very well, and now- a year later- he feels better than he ever did during the 11 years he was sick.
But I would keep in close contact with your doctors right now- infections can pop up fast, and my husband's sepsis after surgery actually started with a fever, but it was a lot sooner after surgery than you.
Good luck, and God bless!
