Derrick,
I wouldn't sweat it. Happens to the best of us, disabled or otherwise. If several more days elapse without going, resort to more drastic measures, i.e. citrate of magnesia. You WILL go then: http://www.drugs.com/mtm/citrate-of-magnesia.html Steve - C4, 21 years From: Derrick [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, August 08, 2009 7:31 PM To: [email protected]; Dan Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] bowel "no show" i do use it some. i just cut it back some because of it was too soft. it seems to work if you take regularly. i do not think drinking a glass now would soften what stool that has been in there 2 days. maybe i'm wrong. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dan <mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, August 08, 2009 6:29 PM Subject: Re: [QUAD-L] bowel "no show" Have any of you tried Mirelax? I've found it to work great without causing accidents. Dan At 06:01 PM 8/8/2009, Danny Hearn said something that elicited my response: happens to most quads at times---used to happen to me a lot during my 4 months in rehab, when we did routine every other day---then some of the docs and nurses told me that many quads are fine going about twice per week because most quads systems slow down-- so i began to try that and now do routine every tuesday and saturday-- has worked great for 12 years now. I guess it is good for many but some quads think you need to go daily-- guess it is good to train your body early on because many are different. If your stool is real hard may need someone to digital stem to get it started-- during the times my stool get hard, i take stool softeners for a while. Anyway,good luck!
