How is your Momma doing?

Erin, sending you all the healing strength, I can muster up. I just remember the Bible verse that says 'this to shall pass.'

my mom seems to be ok. My dad has to take her for a follow up in a couple of days

I told my dad about the potty issue, and he started tossing all sorts of medications at me, and telling me which ones he gives to my mother. I took one. So hopefully having a nurse for a dad will be coming in handy soon.

Just hoping the weird tight feeling that I'm feeling in my stomach is just normal MS spasticity and not something horrible related to the potty issues.

Ok, I took the stuff my dad gave me...there's still nothing happening. Starting to seriously freak out.

Erin,

The combination of all that you are going through, including the pain medications and not being able to lay down because of the shoulder is likely the reason things aren't moving.

Can you get into (and out of) a bath with your shoulder the way it is? If you can, getting into a deep one and massaging your belly gently while in there might help to get things moving.
The buoyancy of the water can help to change the pressure dynamics within the abdominal cavity, and that might help to get things moving. I learned about this when I had a similar situation during a bout of TM and it worked.

If the BM issue doesn't come around today, it is probably a good idea to seek medical attention...especially since it has been nearly a week since the last one.

Gee whiz...you sure are getting hit with one thing after another lately, and I'm so sorry that this is happening on top of it all.

In my thoughts and sending mega s.

With love, Erika

We don't have a working bathtub. We just have showers here. I'm planning on calling a doctor about it as soon as the office opens.

There's still nothing moving. I've been trying to do anything I can do to get things going. Think it's going to not end well.

How else can the ms embarrass me today?

Oh rats.

Well, given the circumstances, I think that you are making a wise choice to call your doctor ASAP.

Wishing that your doctor pays attention, takes your concerns seriously and ensures that you get results.

With love, Erika
