Okay, be prepared, this is going to be a little gross reading material, and it is really hard to write. Thank goodness that I know I can tell you all about this without feeling too embarressed!! :) Okay, here's what's been happening to me. A month ago (literally) I had dieahrrea (sp?) that lasted just one day. I didn't have another bowel movement for a week, and when I realized it had been that long, I took a laxitive, and had a small bowel movement a little while later. I had another bowel movement during the second week of this month-long ordeal, and then none at all until last night. I tried taking a stool softner on Saturday, and nothing happened. I took it again on Sunday, and nothing happened. I took it one last time, yesterday, and nothing happened except I felt like I was going to burst with all the poop trying to get out, and it just couldn't move anywhere. I have NEVER been this constipated in my life!! After sitting on the toilet, in pain (rectum and tummy), I ended up digging some out with my fingers (that's gross, but... I had to do something). I ended up taking out about six inches of rock-hard stoole and then I was able have a relatively normal bowel
