S**t has happened! Hallelujah!

At least you weren’t like this drug dealer:

I’m surprised you say how invasive your procedure was, as I regard my surgery as virtually pain-free, and I am a big baby. I had been out shopping and down the pub several times during the time you have been incarcerated (on medical grounds) in hospital. They gave me all kinds of laxatives and stool-softening drinks and I didn’t use any. If you click my profile you can read the gory details.

Well, at least you now have a BIG LOAD off your mind, and I wish you a speedy discharge from hospital, a rapid recovery, and the best of luck for the future.

Cheers, John.

That's great news, Neil! I must you've been treated a lot better than I was. I was discharged two days after major surgery completely constipated with no help or advice given, and left to sort the issue out on my own which, as I said before, ultimately required a "999" call and 10h in A&E. I'm now that things will quickly return to normal for you now.

Don't try to overdo things when you do go home. You've had major surgery and it takes a long time to get over. Take things easy for a few weeks.

Very best wishes,

Chris

Thank you all gentlemen for taking the time to respond and help a fellow man at the end of his tether and in dire need. That’s the beauty of a forum like this, no matter how alone you feel, you can post a concern and instantly feel you’re amongst friends.

Continued good health to all and may all you’re stools be soft ones.
