Emergency Room and all that jazz!
I've been in the emergency room for the last three days. Turns out, after ALL of the tests and pain, that I have a "bowling ball" size of "feces" in my upper intestine that just won't budge.
I've been taking power shakes with psyllium and wheat germ - thinking I was getting good fiber - and I think I made a hard rock.
So now after so many things they've tried, and I've tried, during the last ten days, I have some day long thing I've got to do here at home...
My symptoms were nausea, couldn't breath (as the bowling ball presses against my lower lungs), and my digestion just stopped. If I ate a bite, I was full. This has gone on for months, really! See, I was still going to the bathroom, hhmhuh, BUT, it was going around the bowling ball...oy, so disgusting...
This is so embarrassing, but out of my love for you guys, if you're on any pain meds, do keep taking something like "Colace" or ask your doc for a non-habit forming type of softener - there are some I think. Laxatives aren't an answer ultimately. But be careful, as this is just a big problem now - excuse the pun.
My belly looks like I'm going to have twins! Ok, now for your jokes: go ahead, it will give me a laugh!
