Yeah, today was a day of firsts for me too...since Friday anyways. I had to go to the drug store and by a frikken laxative this morning. I could barely stand upright I was in so.much pain. But the bloating was even worse. Pain meds cause constipation. Gotta remember that. I'm sure it was a good look..... fat old man shuffling along holding his belly with one hand all hunched over.
Three days later I finally pooped.

I don’t know what’s happening to me. Hit the road this morning about 7:30 when it was just a bit over 80, and was done by 15 miles. Of course, the route had virtually no shade. Kit was absolutely soaked. Tried planting some new landscape plants, and only made it thru 5. Gardening kit - soaked. Granted it’s in the mid-90s with about 70% humidity, but I don’t recall being slowed like this in quite a while.
Please don't tell me I’m old. I’m only just a little old.

A few years ago I had a kidney stone bad enough I called the doctor, who prescribed me Norco. I took it, and it seemed to help. In fact, I felt pretty good that day. Next day, I felt awful, like I'd stayed up all night drinking. So I stopped taking it.
Three days later I finally pooped.

I thought your wife had banned you from chainsaws and sharp tools. at least until she had increased your life insurance policy.

So, on my Kentucky trip I was having issues. Digestive type, or gas pain etc. So I thought. When I got home I was moving all my belongings back home from storage. It rained Tuesday so no ride. Thursday I thought I pulled something because I moved the couch and dressers home by myself. On the ride that night. I couldn't really apply any hard pressure to the pedals, no sprint at all and the after ride beer wast holding my interest. Friday I had 0 appetite, kinda nauseated all day, went to watch grand son #1 play baseball. Things were becoming uncomfortable. Went to bed @ 10pm, I was up at 1am with excruciating pain in my left front abdomen. By 3am I decided to drive myself to the hospital before I blacked out. The pain was coming in waves followed by the urge to vomit. They tried to send me home Saturday. But the pain returned before they could get me out the door. So now I get to add a urologist to my stable of doctors.

A friend of mine told me about a friend of his, for whom he had poured a nice, 12 year old single malt. The guy takes a sip. Asks if he can get some coke to add to it. My friend stopped wasting top shelf booze on him.

I had my surgery on Friday, and I didn't pooped again until Monday or Tuesday. No real discomfort. Just didn't have the urge.

Avoid tea. I know I mentioned it before, but it worked for me. Knocking on wood.

They gave me morphine @ first. It lasted about 10 minutes. All I could do is hold my side and pace around the room between bouts of nausea. Thay had another drug they gave me, started with a T that worked great. I felt nothing for a couple hours on that but could only be given every 6 hours.
