Girl, I don't know where you live but you need to see an OB/GYN ASAP. I highly recommend Dr. Mary Ann Franken in Carrollton ###-###-####) if that is convenient for you.
That swelling is NOT normal and you need to make sure they didn't nick your bowel as part of the surgery. Start with your PC bare minimum. I wouldn't stop until I found an OB that can see you within a few days. Check other posts on MS for ob recommendations. Yes, they can be hard to get in to but make sure they know you are having surgery side effects and not just "well woman" stuff. See if you can take a copy of your records from both doctors especially the culture and CT results. Your friend should know how to get ahold of them in a timely manner or faxed.
HTH-- stay strong and you are NOT a WIMP!
