Well, the lactulose and senna ought to work Daz!
Maybe Tootlejuice can post us some Valentine's smileys when she has a chance!
Expression list?

I mean these icons-----
Maybe I used the incorrect term for the list! I am disappointed that no one has read what I posted on the "Just for Fun" thread. Kim, I have come a long way since I asked you the first question after I joined this group. Thanks in large part to all of your good advice and instruction.

Has the doctor spoke specifically about LIS surgery? It sure seems warranted in this situation? But I guess before surgery they want to make sure the infection is at bay.
Try either the MOM or even prune juice and let us know how it goes.
Don't worry about talking about other butt issues. It is all relative. I don't have AF any more but I do have other problems that I talk about and no one has kicked me off. (But hey, I am admin, what are they gonna do?)
I'll add some v-day smilies soon!

OK, Toot, thanks! I cannot wait to take my bag to tap today!! :D

at last a bm, how xciting is that woooo, :)
downside, omg , thank god for tramadol
it was like my butt was going in to spams as i bm
which did maake me a lil scared, never felt like that b4
so the spams in my lower gut, nd twitches in my butt
omg it was like wft, i can still feel my butt twich nd burn
lol, but glad to ave had a bm at last, milk of mag thank u
3 spoonfuls last nite at 11.30, 2.44 pm today, wooshhhhhhhhhh lol.

At least you are cleared out and next time won't be so dramatic. At least you got over that hurdle. Corsi was mentioning she puts she cream on before she goes potty-maybe that would help you too to kind of preempt the spasms a bit?
Have the docs given you any lidocaine? That can numb the butt up too. It might be over the counter over there.

Dazzy,
I am glad that you had a bm. They told me at Mayos that there are some people who go 3 weeks w/o a bm, which I find hard to believe. A lady who gives me facials told me she goes about every 5 days when she is on vacation, if that makes you feel any better. Now the trick is for you to keep things soft and not get into that same predicament again!

Yikes Dazzy your pain makes my bum twitch !!!!!
So glad to hear MOM did the do – Thank the lord, I think MOM will be your new best friend now
How are you getting on with the ab/s ? Hope they are being kind to you , have you got an appetite today ?
That is a great tip about the cream apply half an hour before you go it does help !
Lidocaine I think is available on prescription and also in the cream GERMOLOIDS
Hugs to you Dazzy
