This topic is about someone who had to go back to the hospital with a fever three weeks after having a Hartmann’s reversal surgery. This is a procedure where the bowel is reconnected after a previous surgery that involved creating a colostomy. The person was given IV antibiotics, and tests showed that the surgical connection in the bowel was fine and starting to work again. The discomfort they described as feeling like "battery acid" has lessened, and they are hopeful about being discharged soon. The overall outlook is positive.

Here are some pieces of advice and insights shared by others:

1. Emotional support is important. Many people sent their best wishes and reminded the person to rest and allow their recovery to progress naturally.

2. Shared experiences can be comforting. One person shared that they also had persistent high fevers after an emergency colostomy. With hospital care and IV antibiotics, their condition improved, showing that such fevers can happen but are treatable.

3. Planning for the future is key. Someone else who is waiting for a similar surgery mentioned that surgeons might suggest a recovery period of 3 to 18 months. However, they noted that personal readiness for surgery might take longer than the minimum time suggested.
