Where is everyone Wednesday?

Good morning everyone!

It's 7:30!!!  Be right back!

ETA:  Gosh, so much for BRB...it's 3 hours later, LOL!

We had nasty weather all day yesterday.  Had a doctor's appointment and then took a long nap!

Today I have a therapy appointment and then I'm just planning to catch up and relax.  It's still overcast and I'm having something of a fibro day.  I'm trying to get a little done here and there to go down to MD next week.  We had to turn around and come back last week cuz my DH got sick.  We're all just so stressed out lately.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!

I'm here.  Would rather be in the bathroom getting some results.  TMI I know.  I'm soooo constipated I'm hurting.  Took more Mirilax this morning.  I'm hoping things start to move soon. LOL

Nothing new today.  Going to sit outdoors again this afternoon as the sun is shining yet again.  I'm declaring it a miracle!  Two days in a row is unheard of. 

I may go into the office this morning for a birthday party for 2 of my co-workers.  It will all depend upon what has or hasn't happened in the bathroom saga. 

Everyone have a great day.

With all my surgeries I've found Dulcolax Laxatives (not stool softener) give me the best results.  I take them 3 at a time....usually after the first dose I'm ok......sometimes it takes a second dose next day.
Hope you feel better soon!

Wanda,

I am not sure this will help you, but this is something that seems to push things along for me. . .  I drink a bottle of water as quickly as possible, and I don't mean ice cold water, room temp which I can do in 5 minutes, sometimes less, in the mornings and it seems that within 10 to 30 minutes, I gotta go. . .  other things to look at are how much fiber is in your diet, fruits? vegetables, whole grains. . .  but then again, didn't you just have surgery too, so it might be the side effects from the anesthia (sp?) and/or any pain meds you were or are on. . .

Anyway, hope you feel better. . .

Hugs. . .

Hi Laureen.  I did drink some warm tea and finally got some results.  I'm still hurting, but not as bad.  Since GB surgery last Thurs. I hadn't put Mirilax in my protein shakes.  DUMB move (no pun intended) on my part.  I don't get much fiber because once I eat my protein, there's no room for anything else.  I did eat an apple yesterday in hopes that it would get things moving.  I don't generally eat grains at all.  I made some meatloaf, so there are some bread crumbs in that.  I had taken som Tylenol # 3.  Not sure if that causes constipation or not.  I know one thing, I'm sitting the Mirilax bottle on top of my protein powder so that I don't forget to use it again.  This is awful!

Tylenol 3 would do it to me. I like to eat a prune or two every few days. When I've had surgery and or am on pain pills I will drink prune juice. My husband calls it "sewer sludge!" But it works.

Hi Irish and everyone!

Just a quick fly by, have been taking people to the docs everyday, again today, Thurs and Friday.  I am getting burned out fast.

How is everyone?

Take care and wish you a great day.  I hate hump day.


Peace

Good morning Irish and everyone....

Hope all is well with everyone...have a good day!

Prayers for all in need....special ones for Paulette.

Love and hugs to all....connie d

Hi!

Same old same old here.....
I have so many things on my "to-do list" and today have no interest/desire in whittling it down.  I think it's that feeling of so much to do where do I start..  I'll start this afternoon after lunch (maybe).

I just saw a commercial for a new entree at the Olive Garden...that amount of oil an cream sauce poured over the breaded/fried chicken and the sausage almost made me feel ill.....I could hear my heart screaming stay away...stay far far away.

Starting to get excited about my upcoming trip.......can't wait to see everyone.

Think I may get myself into the pool later today around 6:30....sun is not so strong then and the water will still be warm enough.

Well I best get busy with starting something for lunch.

Have a great day!!!!

Hi Irish and OFF,

A quick hello.  My daughter called and said she's coming home today to visit for about 5 days - WOO HOO -- I'm really excited.  She should be here around 6 p.m.  I worked, did my routine on the treadmill vigorously for 40 minutes, cleaned the birds' cages, gave the birds their baths, and then cleaned the kitchen floor.....now off to shower and then decide what I'm having for dinner tonight.

Have a wonderful day everyone!
