Nope! It's been very slow for several weeks now and it seems to be getting slower with each passing day.

Quit posting those housework smilies. I'm at work ya' know and I might just be forced to call my DD and make her start cleaning house. Actually she does normally clean my house on Thursday's, but DH worked night shift so he's sleeping today and I doubt if she'll risk waking him up.

Tell your DD I am sorry

 

[dizzyami]

You should know better for scolding me for posting a smilie you don't like - I will find a million of his friends to torment you

 

[dizzyami]

Sad thing though is I have been searching for smilies that I haven't actually got any laundry done . Only have 1 more day off (and it is a Saturday - kids will be home - we have soccer pictures - John is off) to get laundry done before our trip!!! Let's be honest - today is the day!!!

No - sorry I was lumping laundry with a chore - hence cleaning a toilet - it had nothing to do with the constipation . Sorry it is such a problem. Have you tried magnesium citrate???

Nope, I'm using Senokot and Colace. What my doctor recommends as a first line attack. If those don't work then I am supposed to go to Dulcolax. Have no idea why they make me take those first, but that's what they told me to do. It's not really constipation, because I eat plenty of fiber. It's just that the lining was damaged and it sometimes shuts down and doesn't spasm right, so things just stay in one place. Things go in, but don't come out. I then end up getting bad heartburn and stomach cramps because nothing is moving like it should.

I don't think you should feel so sorry for her. I pay her to clean the house.

I should have known that!

We're leaving for a beach camping trip Friday afternoon. We were supposed to leave Friday morning, but weather is going to be icky and nothing worse then camping in the rain with everyone crammed into the trailer saying "I'm bored, there's nothing to do!". So we are leaving in the afternoon instead. Sat, Sun & Monday are supposed to be nice (60 degree weather, but no rain). So I guess what I'm trying to say is my house is dirty and will stay that way until next week!

 

[sameyeyam]

Need to go get some work done. TTYL and have fun cleaning!

That all sounds exciting! Hopefully you can get it figured out. My DD gets really bad constipation - don't know why - to the point where she can't keep any food down. First idiot doctor couldn't figure it out (knew that any tummy problems meant that me and DH were fighting, or there were problems at home ) - then the NP actually sent her for an xray. Not fun stuff at all.

Unfortunately I have to clean - John's parents are staying the night tonight - so I at least want to look respectable

You have fun - I know I won't!!!

Bummer Alison, hope things move along soon.

E's been taking pain meds.. guess what he really needed to take with those pain meds.
He finally took some Senokot and later announced how much better he feels.
hmmm, now I'm sure I said something about fiber or colace.. or something.. days ago.. but did he listen?? noooooooooo

E always thought it odd that the nephrologist would order colace for everyday use, colace works better with fluid.. renal patients aren't suppose to drink much fluid. If that doesn't work he would take the liquid lactulose med (overly sweet clear liquid). I wisely pointed out on the label, the med can be used on either end. Hubby was not amused.

Another reason I refuse most pain meds! Yes I have been loading myself full of water today. I also went to Jack in the Box today for lunch. Figured the veggies, fruits & oatmeal I've been eating for the past few days aren't working. So I decided to try a greasy burger and onion rings. Yeah, that outta get things moving again!

That gets things moving for me! Not that it takes much since I got my gall bladder out. Things tend to move to quickly around here.

Oh yes... Fiber one bars
or if you are desperate.. Activia yogurt

I don't care that it's free after coupon, I will never buy it again!
N and I both had horrible tummy aches after just one yogurt!

hmm fast food options?
It's gotta be White Castle.. but only at 2 am, that's the only time it tastes really good. And if you have been out getting smashed.. all the better to get your "crave"

Activia.. My mom had bought a bunch of that at costco.. then she went on this diet program through her Dr where she can ONLY eat what they give her. So she gave the rest to my kids. My kids LOVE yogurt..and they wanted to gobble it all up. I told them they couldnt eat more that one a day because it would make them poop. They were DYING to eat tons of it to see if they would poop a ton. But I wouldnt let them. Mean ole mom.

Obviously I was desperate, because I do eat Activia yogurt (had coupons ya know). It doesn't seem to really have any effect on me. Now those Fiber One bars, well they seem to give me horrible gas, but not much else.

I am happy to say though that after 4 days of loading myself full of fiber and laxatives, things started moving again this morning. Yahoo, suppose all of this will kick in during our camping trip!

OMG! That sounds just like something DS would do. Then DD would be hollering because he clogged up the toilet!
