Glad all went well. Hopefully the mag citrate will kick in soon ... it usually
does a bang up job for me!! Good luck and feel better soon!

Update on my surgical recovery. I'm still waiting on the bowels to move. They
have really good bowel sounds and I have produced a lot of gas, but for some
reason I still haven't produced stool. Just some liquidy substance.
Two days ago they gave me an extra dose of MiraLAX and a half a bottle of
magnesium citrate. So far nothing, so there having me take another half bottle
of magnesium citrate. The x-ray they took the day before looked pretty good,
but they still want me to produce stool before I'm able to be discharged. Looks
like around Tuesday right now if I can get something going in the next two days.
Thanks for the well wishes.Q

Well, I had my colostomy surgery on Thursday everything went pretty well. So
far my lungs have remained clear and hopefully they will continue to do so.
Anyway, I can't leave the hospital until my bowels start to work.
The doctors decided to start me on a regular diet today, but I'm not supposed
to eat too much. Anyway, I'm just sitting here waiting for the bowels to start
working so I can try to get out of here shortly thereafter.
