The bm messages helped more than you know. I'm taking not only a Senokot laxative daily but also a Dulcolax stool softener daily. Thought I was developing another ileus a few days ago, but apparently things (knock wood) are starting to normalize.
I will say, though, that I'm going through some really emotional upheaval that has been hard to deal with, and I'm pretty sure it is the drugs. I'm typically on a pretty even keel, but lately, the dumbest things are making me cry. Not just a tear or two, but downright heaving sobs. I'm crying kind of a lot and pretty much for no reason. The other day, I opened a small bag of dog snacks and the bag split apart - thousands of teeny tiny dog treats all over the floor. Had to call hubby in to pick them up before the dog had snarfed them all. Well, that send me into about an hour's worth of sobbing. Also, an this is new today, I'm starting to get a little pissy. Like irrationally pissy. For now, anyway, I'm blaming the drugs.
I should mention that this week they changed the Oxycontin over to Percocet (I don't know the dosages off hand) and also have me on Valium 10 mg (diazepam). That, the laxative, and the stool softener is all I'm taking.
If any of you have any similar experiences and/or any advice to share, I should would appreciate hearing your stories.
Thanks - love and gentle hugs to all.
