Nothing worked
I have spent the last two days in hospital with a blockage in the upper bowel which is in turn causing me severe leg muscle pain. Movicol, senna, coloxyl, enemas, nulax, dulose, osmolax, all on top of a hi fibre diet. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Morphine, endone, tramadol for pain. Nothing works for that either. They are doing the mastectomy on Tuesday regardless of whether I have managed to get things working or not. I am very tired and over it, crying at the littlest things. I have tried exercise even though my legs are weak and have given under me a couple times. Also tried heat packs. Water consumption is approximately four litres a day. I will seriously try anything.

- Yes. The shuttles may have landed but they still have engines that are running LOL
- Oh my...
What a relief!! - Well the shuttles all landed at the same time. Wow. I didn't know my body could hold that much.🤗
- Always good to be back home @Blossom1961 and that the pain is minimal. Take care and hopefully you are getting pampered rotten after what you have been though. All the best. xox
- Thank you ladies. Surgery went well, I am now home with 'hospital at home' to visit until drains come out. I have been able to do the stretches so far without any problems. Pain minimal but forget sleeping in a comfortable position, no such thing. Blockage still a thing but at least now my BC nurse is on board so she is insisting on looking into the whys so they can get it fixed and not reoccur.
- @Blossom1961 hoping all went well today and you find some relief from the pain
- OMG @kitkatb that sounds frightful! I'm off to the chemist tomorrow to stock up on the anti'ds, but at 22° I'm relieved to say...
- @kmakm Hazelnut fudge Kate. Yum. :) I've just had a mint drumstick as had to go the chemist anyway for the good old femara tablets $ 32 .00 later I might add, plus the fact its 42 degrees up here today in North Queensland and around 90% humidity. OMG :*
- Well, that should help @ kmakm :) I might counter with a small tub of supermarket coleslaw. We will keep vigil for you Blossom, in our own odd ways. Mxx
