At least I'm lucky that I have been able to get to the loo faster when things got moving, but also unlucky in a odd way as I can feel it and it can get to the point of utter agony (but you don't want to take your pain meds cause it might make it continue for longer - another quandary of balance), and the experience of vomiting poo is vile - has happened to me a few times. <br />I am surprised at one thing though on reading; I wondered why after that 5-6 day mark (and microlax etc not working), didn't try a Fleet enema (works a treat when really desperate, and seems a bit less harsh than some things that have given me burning sensation, plus it seems to totally void the bowel). <br />So glad your problems are so much better and you have balance. It has taken me a long time to find that and sometimes still have problems.<br />Thank you for discussing this, it's a topic I have kept pretty quiet about myself (other than to selected significant others), you are one of the bravest and most inspiring people I've ever met :)<br />Warm regards,<br />TraceyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6161065053564080769.post-81643355510433380272010-12-05T18:12:42.953+10:002010-12-05T18:12:42.953+10:00It is very brave of you to write about what many c...It is very brave of you to write about what many consider an embarrassing and taboo, yet normal bodily function, and I think an important thing that you have done in sharing this story. When people wind up in hospital with out preporation they are not thinking of anything other than their condition and what why how. The little and important things about nurses etc are far from the mind. You are an inspiration. Thank you graham.<br /><br />ZoeZoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11943295626106407935noreply@blogger.com
