thanks to everyone for your feedback, luckily the "bell rang" so to speak late yesterday and am feeling fine now. Looks like Milk of Magnesia and Benefibre were enough to get things working again.
Thru Guelph we are told to use Restoralax. It helps by putting water into our stool. If need be use senokot as well.
