Thanks guys. That's exactly it mamafizz, a fast forward would be excellent.
My dad went right away to the only nearby pharmacy still open, and the pharmacist told him just to buy miralax. So he did and brought it home - but left the prescription with the pharmacist. So I had the wrong medication with no idea of what dose I was to take, and the pharmacy where he left the prescription was closed by the time he got home. I had to phone the emergency to see what was on file (peglyte two times daily, one cup) and sending poor Dad to another pharmacy 20 minutes away that was 24 hours to get the peglyte - which does have miralax in it, but has other ingredients and different dosing. So I didn't get to bed until about 2 am all said and done.
Not working so far, besides making me feel ill. Was able to get some gas out which relieved some stomach pain, but it's building again. I think chances are I'll be back at emergency today or tomorrow, I feel like this laxative is a waste of time, considering what needs to be softened is already in the rectum...it's got a long way to travel before then, in the meanwhile turning everything else into diarrhea. It's not going to fun once this gets going if it does
