I was in a former ward room, there were 2 in a room but our neighbors were behind a half wall covered by drapes, so you could hear EVERYTHING they said but could not see them. I also shared a bathroom with the other three.
There was also private rooms. If I had to do it over again I would definitely get the private room. In my room, there was 2 people recovering from emergency surgery and in a great deal of pain and they were also loud with their visitors.
You're in better shape than I was at this point.
Are you drinking your protein shakes?
Try a stool softener to ease matters a bit.

I don't recall seeing any wards, nor do I recall seeing any privates. As I walked the floor after surgery all the rooms seemed to be semi privates.

was just wondering if the rooms in st Joes Hamilton are ward rooms (4 to a room) or do they do private rooms? Also do they allow spouses to spend the night if you're in private? TIA!

I?m currently on optifast and I?m paying $63(and change) per week. That?s through st Joes in Hamilton.
Edit* Im on it for 3 weeks and the pharmacy allows you to by week by week so you don't need to buy it all at once.
I have to do two weeks of Optifast as well, and t cost me $175.00. I ordered it right after I met with the surgeon at UH in London on Dec 3 and it was delivered the next day.

You can BUT...if you are not drinking lots (and I mean lots) of fluids then it will only make things worse.
The restoralax isn't going to work immediately. It will probably take a day to get things moving. You can take it more than once a day. I'd suggest two doses today.
And here's the thing, you need to monitor what's happening. Keep taking the restoralax to keep regular until things start to settle down.
