Just letting you guys know that I'm back from the hospital. My surgery went very well and I'm now recovering at home with 31 staples in my abdomen and a stack of morphine pills. The problem with mophine is, its great for pain relief but causes constipation. I went 8 days w/o a single bowel movement, and my intestines felt they were going to burst. I tried everything from off the shelf laxatives, metamucil, stewed prunes, prescription laxatives; nothing worked. So I figured I was trying to solve the problem from the wrong end. Yesterday, my wife gave me an enema. Who ever said an enema is painless, clearly never had one before. Anyway it did the trick (the hounds have been released!). Talk about being violated. Now I know what it must be like being a pretty boy in prison. On a lighter note, I finally tamed my brand new PC, I've got Bryce loaded and I'm ready go. Eeeehaaa! Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers, they worked. Curtis

:-D I'm so glad to hear you're back! and that everything is coming out just fine ;P Its good to have humor like yours! Wishing you well and a speedy recovery.

LMAO! you scarred us for life with that descriptive visual ;) good to hear you're doing better though. good health and... less enemas in the future :D drac (God i'm glad i don't have a wife) ((although i had just the perfect laxative))

Ah god, I was just going to have dinner! Glad it went well, tho,:o)

Welcome back,.........try a stool softener,....generally best when taken with or just after taking the morphine.

This is something, as early as this morning I was wondering how you were doing and here it is a few hours later with your wonderful news. Very glad to hear youve come through the surgery well. Enemas, Ive never had one but could imagine the discomfort associated with it. And to think, some people do them regularly whether they need it or notLOL! Generally speaking, it certainly gives the wife a chance to get even for certain inequities and trespasses if theyre so inclined. So, it sounds like we should be expecting some Brycen out of you, would be interesting to see what comes from those morphine induced dreams. Well, best wishes in a speedy recovery.

Got bad news for you... when you detox from morphine (or heroin) you get the opposite effect! From both ends, I might add, so good reason to go very lightly on that stuff! Glad you're back.

Sugar free mints or something with Sorbitol as an ingredient will get you going sooner than any other expensive treatment. ps glad to hear you're ok :D

Welcome back from the Hospital! I wish you a speedy recovery. I'm glad that everything came out all right in the end.

Funny, no matter how many people I talk to about constipation, everyone has a unique remedy. Its kinda like hangovers. Everyone's got a secret formula, and none of them are pleasant. As for morphine addiction, I'm only allowed 2 mg per day. And I don't have an addictive bone in my body. Being dependant on a substance is abhorrent to me. Besides I have my wife and kids as a reality check.

Welcome back and get well soon.

Trouble with enemas, they're a pain in the arse.... Welcome back! Get well soon.

Glad to hear you've come through the operation A-O-K, and still typing with Bryce on the brain. As for the rest....I've spent the last 3 weeks on muscle relaxers & pain meds. I fear my LAX of constipation is nearing the END when I stop taking them. WB Curtis ICM Rod

LOL@Bryster! No pun intended huh?

You mean like....'Enemas...they're a bummer' ?

Glad you're ok, bandolin and I'm certainly glad I had time to digest my dinner before I read this! lol ps..if you have any leftover morphine..would ya pass 'em over to me please? My back has been killing me the last two days! :)

Waaaaaaaaaayyy more information than we need, just to know you're back at home was enough!!!!

let's hope you get back onto the loo pot tmrow without any hassles! And back on track healthwise too! Welcome back!

Thats great! Now take it easy.

Woops! Careful guys! I think Zhann is about to lock this thread for talking about torture....!

LOL...Just goes to show that artists have very vivid imaginations. Now if we can incorporate this topic into a Brycer based image, we just might hit the Hot 20. ;)
