"Probably not again..."

Loyd747 | New River, Arizona
I stopped here for an overnight stay. I was tired and needed to rest. The lobby counters were cluttered, one person working the desk. The elevator floors were dirty and my room carpet was too If not tired I would have left. The bed was so so. I would not return here. One person on the desk and running the breakfast area in the morning was all I saw.

I stayed here a year ago and wrote a good review, but this, my second visit, makes me need to downgrade my review. In passing through Jackson again, I stayed despite the price because La Quinta has a very accepting pet policy, which I appreciate. This property also has a lot of green space around it that is good for walking your dog, rather than being a concrete jungle like many hotels. As before, I asked for a quiet room, but this time I wasn't able to sleep well because of noise from neighbors. Each time their door slammed - and I do mean slammed - the sound ricocheted through the walls and the headboard of my bed shook! While impolite guests are not a hotel's fault, the thin walls and doors set to shut harder than necessary are. The hotel is also not very clean. Given that the price is nearly twice that of other hotels, one might as well stay at a more budget-friendly motel. I have to travel back through Jackson on the way home, but I am going to look for another hotel instead.

Wow. What can I say good about this hotel... I always try to compliment every establishment if I am going to complain about something...however... At this hotel there is literally nothing at all to compliment. I am thankful that I haven't been killed yet even though I have pictures of the door with a gouge out of it. I have pics of the BLACK SLIME coating the toilet, the soap dish, the tub... And more! We regularly stay at La Quinta and have never had to ask for a feather free room... So it was our fault their were feather pillows in the room ... HOWEVER... When we sent my 11 year old daughter down to exchange the three down pillows he screamed at her that he didnt have time to do it...he was behind! Then... He called us and said he had no idea what kind of pillows he had but he had the only three he could find in empty rooms and we could come check and see if they were pillows. He pointed out how stupid I was for not requesting a feather free room! I refused to send my daughter down for that.. Ended up going down in my gown... And he yelled at me and asked how he was supposed to know what was in there. I asked big Ray, with the facial hair (in case you need to know), how he didn't know by this point in his life that pillows had tags explaining what is inside. I had defended him and said we were tired when he was rude to my mother. He flipped out on me. Btw.. Every time I went down to the desk there was a prostitute looking woman chatting with him... Not just one but two different ones. This man attack my young daughter verbally, my mother and myself and should be fired immediately. The head of house keeping and whole house keeping staff should be fired. In the end the buck stops with the GM and franchise owners... I will be calling La Quinta corporate! They should condemn this hotel and start over! They act like people are putting them out to check in this 'roach motel'.

Unhappygirl2 | Greenbackville, Virginia
We checked in with Ray @ after 1:00 a m. He was rude, shouldn't be considered for employment in an out house much less in the hospitality business. The room we were told had to be in a certain part of hotel since we have pets. Which by the way are covered by federal disability act & are allowed to be in any room legally, but I didn't impose this on him. Got in dirty elevator, went to 3rd floor, couldn't find room 320 as it & several others had NO numbers on them. Finally found one marked & counted to find it. Carpet filthy!! Commode black all inside, soap dish molded in corners, tub dirty! Allergic to feather pillows so we took them to front desk, Ray informed us he was not a pillow expert! Took 3, only got 2 in return & had to go get those ourselves at Ray's impolite suggestion if we wanted any to come get them. He was behind! At 2:15 a m he had no customers, no phone calls, but he was behind! Assuming night audit more important than paying customers! My rating for this establishment would be negative 5 stars! Do you want to see pictures? I have them!

Ayat Al-Qassab carefully slipped the beaded satin wedding gown over her small frame. She peered at herself in the rusted mirror and cautiously smiled. For a moment, her war-torn world was transformed and she was a beautiful bride -- free, safe and happy. Then, a mortar shell exploded somewhere near her Syrian home in Homs, waking her from a daydream. She quickly wrapped a white headscarf tightly around her hair and prepared to leave for her wedding. Homs has borne the brunt of the Syrian military's wrath since violence broke out nearly two years ago in the nation. Many who live in the city consider it to be the unbowed guardian of the Syrian revolt. There, even marriage is an act of revolution.
By the time you become 116 years old, you've pretty much seen it all. Besse Cooper was born in 1896. She's one of only a handful, who've seen the centuries turn twice. She loved to learn and became a teacher, and went on to become a pioneer fighting for the right of women to vote in the 1920s. She was a news junkie who loved politics, and never missed the evening news once television was invented. She never had a driver's license, but when she did drive, you didn't need one. She drove a Model T. She was the matriarch of her family of 4 children, 11 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren, and 1 great great grandchild. This past week, Besse Cooper went to get her hair done, in the nursing home she lived. Her hair was one of her passions. Her son said it meant that she was ready to go. She died later that day. We take a look back at Besse Cooper, who was the oldest living person in the world.
She was scarred by the war that scarred her father, and she spent two decades seeking peace. Now Christal Presley takes the next step in her journey: returning to the places that sill haunt her and, at last, telling her truth.

As gay people become more accepted in mainstream society and as baby boomers push for a better world for the LGBT community, retirement is starting to look a lot different for this generation.
Across the country, there's a sudden shift taking place. Bobbie Cleave, a retired teacher in Utah, has put off plans to get a badly needed car. Brian Chandler, a data manager in metro Atlanta, is delaying buying a house -- despite needing space for his second child due any day now. Retired police officer Richard Huffman of Michigan is considering ditching plans to get back into the work force. And many families CNN spoke with said they're shrinking the gift pile beneath the Christmas Tree. All because of the so-called "fiscal cliff." The threat to the nation's economy, which Americans hear about on daily basis, isn't just "looming." For many people, it's a reason to make changes now. But some see an up-side. "We need to go over the cliff," says Val Stayskal, 58-year-old owner of two small businesses in Addison, Illinois.
Soledad O'Brien: Who is black in America? I am.
We always want answers. NFL linebacker Jovan Belcher, 25, shot to death the mother of his child, and then shot himself in the head in the middle of the afternoon Saturday outside the team's Kansas City practice facility. The day before, a man burst into a Wyoming college classroom, police said, and killed someone he knew, and then killed himself. Usually, such tragedies are shocking. Experts that CNN spoke with say about 1,500 murder-suicides happen in the United States every year. And even that number is questionable, they caution. There are no credible statistics on this kind of crime -- the FBI doesn't keep track, and police classify murders in different ways. This lack of certainty often amplifies the frustration people feel when loved ones are wrenched from them so violently. And it makes it even tougher to understand when the violence is wrought in public.
When a car slammed into their motorcycle, June and Ted DiStefano knew the horrific accident would change their lives forever. They didn't realize it would give them the power to help others. Both were severely injured in the hit-and-run accident. June was kept in an induced coma for a month as doctors tried to save her left leg. In the end, they had to amputate it. Ted also lost his left leg. Today, 15 years later, the DiStefanos are actors in a hostile environment training course, using their physical injury to help create a shocking, realistic simulation of a war zone for troops.
US-Dunford-Afghanistan (with art)
With little fanfare Monday, Marine Gen. Joseph Dunford was confirmed by the Senate as the newest commander for the international forces in Afghanistan, charged with overseeing the final two years of the U.S.-led war and executing the White House plan to phase out troops and leave a small number behind after 2014. Dunford, much like his confirmation, has made a career of flying under the radar, but he will be front and center as the commander of the International Security Assistance Force, replacing Gen. John Allen. He is well-known in the tight-knit Marine Corps community as a thoughtful and calm leader and has 22 months of commanding in Iraq.
Paul Sacco says searching for his missing daughter feels like something akin to bleeding out. All the hope, heartache and anxiety that go into it leave him feeling diminished. But the Colorado lawyer and amateur guitarist has managed to bottle up some of that energy, spending hundreds of hours creating what is both a tribute to Aubrey Sacco and a monument to his sorrow: a 14-song album he has published to Internet vendors.

Braving lions to deliver Maasai nomads' vaccines.
Along the lush sea-islands and the Atlantic coastal plains of southern East coast of America, a distinctive group of tidewater communities has stuck together throughout the centuries, preserving its African cultural heritage and carving out a lifestyle that is uniquely its own. The Gullah/Geechee people are direct descendants of West African slaves brought into the United States around the 1700s. They were forced to work in rice paddies, cotton fields and indigo plantations along the South Carolina-Georgia seaboard where the moist climate and fertile land were very similar to their African homelands.
Dangling from the top of a 20 meter mast while bouncing along the open waves would test even the most hardened sailor's stomach. If the vertigo doesn't rattle you, the mast lurching at a 45 degree angle will. Then there's the real possibility the whole boat could capsize under the strain -- plunging you deep under water with it. But for maritime photographer Kos Evans -- who pioneered the hazardous art of masthead photography and bagged some of sailing's greatest images in the process -- it's all part of the day-job.
President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner have been here before: a high-stakes showdown over the debt, visions of a grand bargain and a looming deadline. Last year, secret talks between Obama and Boehner -- discussions that began over a round of golf -- fell apart. So what's different now?
The current outcry over the fiscal cliff feels like déjà vu for those intimately familiar with previously failed debt talks. Congressional brinksmanship with the White House over the nation's debt and federal spending. Numerous eponymously named plans. Groups with catchy titles charged with finding a solution. Grand bargains. Raised hopes. Flared tempers. Bruised egos. As talks break down and partisan lines are drawn, the problem finally is kicked down the road.
POL-Rice-Kerry (with art)
It's a favorite game in Washington to weigh the odds of each potential nominee to a president's cabinet and that game is in full swing -- especially in trying to anticipate President Barack Obama's choice for replacing Hillary Clinton as secretary of state. With speculation mounting that President Obama may soon announce his nominee, two very well-known names -- Sen. John Kerry, D-Massachusetts, and Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice -- remain the two top possibilities. Each comes with strengths but with baggage as well.
POL-2012-Campaign-Insight (with art)
As voters headed to the polls on Election Day, several of Mitt Romney's senior campaign aides said, they truly thought he was going to win the presidency and retake the White House Republicans lost four years earlier. "I was cautiously optimistic," Romney pollster Neil Newhouse said. Instead, Barack Obama garnered 51% of the popular vote and 332 electoral votes to 206 and approximately 48% of the popular vote for his opponent. Newhouse was one of the key Romney campaign officials who joined counterparts from Obama's campaign at a Harvard University symposium last week that examined the election, the strategies and how various factors influenced the outcome.
As President Obama and House Republicans tussle over a debt reduction deal, Medicare reform is back in the spotlight.

While China has become the world's second largest economy, doing business in China is now perceived to be more corrupt, according to Transparency International. China dropped five spots to 80th place out of 176 countries surveyed in the 2012 Corruption Perceptions Index. "The world's leading economies should lead by example, making sure that their institutions are fully transparent and their leaders are held accountable. This is crucial since their institutions play a significant role in preventing corruption from flourishing globally," said Cobus de Swardt, managing director of the Berlin-based corruption watchdog.
MED-Penile-Reconstruction (with art; also see Freedom-Project-Operation-Hope)
It was a horrific act that brought the boy to an operating room in Johns Hopkins Children's Center in Baltimore. A gang on the streets of Dhaka, Bangladesh, had cut off his penis and a testicle. He was only 7 at the time. "As far as an injury committed by one person against another, to a child, this is the most severe genital injury that I've ever seen in 23 years of doing this," Dr. John Gearhart, a pediatric urologist, told CNN. Gearhart and pediatric plastic surgeon Dr. Richard Redett volunteered their time to reconstruct the boy's penis.
MED-Morning-Sickness (with art)
Whenever there's a royal wedding, waiting for the news that a royal heir is on the way is always the next step. Less than two years after Britain's Prince William wed his bride Catherine Middleton, word of a royal pregnancy was eagerly anticipated. Now we know Catherine is having a baby. But the world didn't find out in the form of a photo revealing a conspicuous baby bump. Rather, the news broke when Buckingham Palace announced Monday the Duchess of Cambridge has been "admitted ... to King Edward VII Hospital in Central London with hyperemesis gravidarum," - which means excessive vomiting during pregnancy. As most mothers can attest, feeling nauseated during pregnancy is not unusual, so why is the duchess hospitalized?

Boomers who remarry learn from failed relationships.
Although I have been in love with photography since I was 12, my first serious relationship with the subject began as a wide-eyed intern in New York City. A well-regarded food photographer took me under his wing and taught me all aspects of the craft, starting with a respect for the food that nourishes us. For me, the key to good food photography is that whatever you are shooting needs to looks fresh from the kitchen. Not all food is inherently beautiful - a rack of ribs, for example - but if it appears fresh and hot out of the smoker, it will look appetizing.
FEA-What-Does-Local-Food-Mean (with art)
The term "local" is used frequently in conversations centered on the American food system. Is it 50 miles from your home or 500? Must the food be purchased directly from the farmer? Can the food be sourced by a retailer and sold under a "local" label for stronger buying power?

McKenna Pope's 4-year-old brother wanted an Easy-Bake oven for months and she was more than happy to get it for him. She wants him to know it's OK for boys to enjoy baking cookies. But she's worried that toy makers are sending boys a different message. The 13-year-old reached this conclusion last week during a shopping trip with her parents. They searched the shelves for an Easy-Bake Ultimate Oven and found pink and purple boxes that show only girls using the kid-friendly appliance.

Dallas, TX 75234 - Health Notes
Rice Protein
Rice Protein- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for Amount Why AtherosclerosisRefer to label instructions [1 star] Though not yet proven in clinical research, animal studies suggest that rice protein-based diets result in less buildup of atherosclerotic plaque compared with animal protein-based diets.Athletic PerformanceRefer to label instructions [1 star] Some athletes believe rice protein may also improve blood flow to muscle to enhance growth and repair. However, no research has investigated the effects of rice protein on athletic performance.ObesityRefer to label instructions [1 star] Dieters who are gluten or dairy sensitive and looking to supplement protein might consider rice protein, though its actual benefits for weight loss have not been studied.Rice protein is extracted from rice and used in some protein supplements. Vegetarians may prefer it over protein supplements made from animal sources (such as whey or casein, which are milk proteins). Since rice is rarely involved in food allergies,1 rice protein may also be preferred by people with food allergies, and may be suitable to use in hypoallergenic infant formulas.2 Rice protein is not a complete protein, however, due to insufficient levels of the amino acids lysine and threonine.3, 4 Therefore, these amino acids are often added to rice protein products to correct this imbalance.

Comments about Dymatize® Nutrition Elite Gourmet Protein - Cookies And Cream:
After reading the label of this product i thought i'd give it a try. its gluten free, low in calories and has 25 grams of protein per scoop! i tried the cookies and cream and it is SO GOOD! my boyfriend and i feel it has worked very well as a post workout protein in helping with recovery ( we think because its a casien/whey blend, where we used to just take a whey post workout). i usually mix it with skim milk but its still delicious with just water! i highly recommend this product!

The decision to travel is your responsibility. You are also responsible for your personal safety abroad. The purpose of this Travel Advice is to provide up-to-date information to enable you to make well-informed decisions.
Petty crime occurs. An increase in theft, including house break-ins, has been reported. Ensure that your personal belongings, passports and other travel documents are secure at all times. The incidence of crime increases after dark.
Some cases of sexual assault targeting foreigners have occurred. Women should avoid isolated areas, especially at night. Consult our publication entitled Her Own Way: A Woman's Safe-Travel Guide for travel safety information specifically aimed at Canadian women.
Demonstrations may occur and have the potential to turn violent suddenly. They can lead to significant disruptions to traffic and public transportation. Avoid all demonstrations and large gatherings, follow the advice of local authorities and monitor local media.
Traffic drives on the left. Driving can be hazardous due to poor road conditions and lack of adequate lighting for night-time driving. Roads in Nuku'alofa are paved, but most other roads are not.
Inter-island ferries do not always meet international safety standards. You should verify the credentials of the operator and the state of the vessel's safety equipment.
Internal air service can be unpredictable. Flights are often cancelled on short notice. Consult our Transportation Safety page in order to verify if national airlines meet safety standards.
You are encouraged to register with the High Commission of Australia in Nuku'alofa in order to receive the latest information on situations and events that could affect your safety.
Exercise caution when swimming as dangerous currents exist.
Basic tourist facilities and services are available in Nuku'alofa but limited elsewhere.
It is the sole prerogative of each country or region to determine who is allowed to enter. Canadian consular officials cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet entry requirements. The following information on entry and exit requirements has been obtained from the Tongan authorities. However, these requirements are subject to change at any time. It is your responsibility to check with the High Commission of the Kingdom of Tonga for up-to-date information.
Official (special and diplomatic) passport holders must consult the Official Travel page, as they may be subject to different entry requirements.
Canadians must present a passport to visit Tonga, which must be valid for at least six months beyond the date of expected departure from that country.

The Agency publishes travel health advice for Tonga.
Medical facilities are limited. Nuku'alofa and Neiafu have hospitals with emergency facilities. In the event of a major accident or illness, medical evacuation to New Zealand or Australia may be necessary. Medical transport is very expensive and payment up front is often required.
You are subject to local laws. Consult our Arrest and Detention FAQ for more information.

Homosexual activity is illegal.
Offences such as theft and sexual or physical assault may result in corporal punishment.
Dress conservatively, behave discreetly, and respect religious and social traditions to avoid offending local sensitivities. It is an offence to appear in public without a shirt except on the beach.
The currency is the Tongan dollar or pa'anga (TOP). While automated banking machines (ABMs) are available on Tongatapu, especially in Nuku'alofa, service may be limited on other islands. Traveller's cheques and foreign currency can be exchanged at major banks. Credit cards are accepted at most major hotels, as well as at some restaurants and stores.
Tonga is located in an active seismic zone and is prone to earthquakes and tsunamis.
The rainy (or monsoon) and typhoon seasons in the South Pacific extend from November to April. Severe rainstorms can cause flooding and landslides, resulting in significant loss of life and extensive damage to infrastructure, and hampering the provision of essential services.
During a typhoon or monsoon, hotel guests may be required to leave accommodations near the shore and move to safety centres inland. Travel to and from outer islands may be disrupted for some days. Contact the Meteorological Office (tel.: 23401) or consult the Fiji Meteorological Service for weather reports if you are contemplating sea journeys.

Modern and Contemporary Art A Chester County Art Critic (Portrait of Christian Brinton) Made in United States, North and Central America1940 Horace Pippin, American, 1888 - 1946 Oil on canvas Currently not on view 1941-79-139 Gift of Christian Brinton, 1941 |
LabelChristian Brinton, 1870–1942 "Circumstance rather than conscious plan" is how art critic, author, and exhibition impresario Christian Brinton collected art. As explained in the November 1941 issue of the Museum's Bulletin, Brinton's personal association with "artists of many lands" had more to do with his acquisitions than an interest in any particular school of art or aesthetic formula. Through these associations, Brinton championed the art of his day, promoting works from geographic areas often outside traditional Western European schools. His collection, which he gave to the Museum in the fall of 1941, includes more than six hundred objects, primarily representing the art of Russia, Scandinavia, Central and Eastern Europe, and Spain. It comprises paintings, works on paper, sculpture, textiles, and stage and costume designs for the Ballets Russes, as well as toys, crafts, and a library of more than 1,200 volumes. Brinton's collection also reflects his promotion of contemporary American artists, among them African American painter Horace Pippin. (Pippin was from Chester County, Pennsylvania, where Brinton and his family had lived for seven generations.) In 1937, Brinton arranged for Pippin's exhibition debut at the local West Chester Community Center. The next year, the artist exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Two years later, Pippin painted Brinton's portrait, shown here. While Brinton regularly invited members of the art world to his home to view the collection he acquired over a twenty-year period, he gifted it to the Museum "so that I can see people enjoying it while I live." The Museum presented the collection in an exhibition that opened November 1, 1941. Brinton died less than seven months after it closed.Social Tags [?]african american [x] black art [x] man [x] nhd 1945 to 1975 portrait [x] [Add Your Own Tags] |

A knee osteotomy is the removal of a wedge of bone from the tibia to realign the leg. The tibia is the shinbone. Recovery time will depend on certain factors, such as your overall health.
Reasons for Procedure
This procedure aligns the knee joint so the healthy part of the knee surface is able to do more weight-bearing. This takes pressure off the damaged part. Damage is often due to osteoarthritis . This surgery may be done instead of a total knee replacement .
While osteotomy does not cure conditions like osteoarthritis, the surgery may:
- Reduce pain
- Improve movement
- Delay further damage to the joint
- Postpone the need for total knee replacement surgery
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Infection
- Excess bleeding
- Swelling
- Blood clots
- Shortening of the leg
- Injuries to nerves or blood vessels
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Smoking
- Poor nutrition
- History of blood clots
- Long-term illness
- Use of certain medications
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Prior to the surgery, the doctor will order tests to confirm the diagnosis and decide how much bone to remove.
Tests may include:
Before surgery, you will need to:
- Arrange for a ride home.
- Arrange for help at home while you recover.
- Talk to your doctor about any allergies you have.
- Ask your doctor about assisted devices you will need.
- If you are overweight, lose weight. This will help to decrease the amount of stress on your new joint.
- Install safety equipment in the bathroom, shower, and on the stairs.
- Prepare a bedroom on the first floor if possible. Climbing stairs will be difficult at first.
Talk to your doctor about any medications, herbs, or supplements you are taking. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure, like:
- Aspirin and other anti-inflammatory drugs
- Blood-thinning drugs, such as warfarin
- Anti-platelet drugs, such as clopidogrel
Do not eat or drink anything after midnight the day before your surgery, unless told otherwise by your doctor.
Anesthesia will keep you pain-free and comfortable during the procedure. Anesthesia methods include:
- General anesthesia —you will be asleep
- Spinal or epidural anesthesia —your lower body will be numbed from an injection into the back
Description of the Procedure
There are many methods that can be used to perform an osteotomy. In one method, the doctor uses imaging technology to measure the piece of bone that will be removed. A cut is made in the skin from the knee cap to the top of the shinbone. Several thin wires are placed in the knee to serve as guides, showing where the bone should be cut. The doctor uses an oscillating saw to remove the bone wedge. The remaining parts of the bone will be held together with staples, screws, or a plate and screws. The doctor will stitch the tissue together and close the area.
How Long Will It Take?
1-3 hours
How Much Will It Hurt?
Anesthesia will block pain during the procedure. You will have pain after the procedure. Ask your doctor about medication to help manage pain.
Average Hospital Stay
You may need to stay in the hospital for 2-3 days. If you have any problems, you may need to stay longer.
Post-procedure Care
Right after the procedure, you will be taken to recovery and monitored closely. The staff may give you:
- Pain medication
- Antibiotics to prevent infection
- Medication that prevents blood clots
- Place padded bandages over the incision sites
- Apply ice to reduce swelling
- A splint or brace to hold the knee in the right position
To help ensure a smooth recovery at home, take these steps:
- Apply ice or a cold pack to the area for 15-20 minutes four times a day. Wrap the ice in a towel. Do not apply it directly to your skin.
- Elevate the injured leg to reduce swelling.
- If you have a cast, follow the doctor's instructions for taking care of your skin.
- Use crutches or a walker. Avoid putting weight on your injured leg until your doctor gives you permission.
- Keep the incision area clean and dry.
- Ask your doctor about when it is safe to shower, bathe, or soak in water. Place a plastic covering over the incision areas if your doctor recommends keeping it dry.
- Start working with a physical therapist once you are instructed to. The therapist will focus on balance, range-of-motion, and strength training.
- Maintain a healthy weight after surgery.
- Follow your doctor's instructions.
You will need to return to the doctor to have your cast removed or to have x-rays taken. Full recovery can take six months.
Call Your Doctor
Call your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the incision site
- Swelling, redness, or pain in your legs, calves, or feet
- Pain that you cannot control with the medications you have been given
- Nausea and vomiting
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Your leg, foot, or toes appear chalky white, blue, or black
- Numbness or tingling in your leg, foot, or toes
- Pain, burning, urgency, frequency of urination, or persistent bleeding in the urine
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.
