My turn, I had an upper GI series yesterday and the barium has left me so constipated I can't stand it. They advised to drink a lot of water so that wouldn't happen, but because of other health problems I slept about 20 of the next 24 hours, and although I drank every time I woke up, it apparently wasn't nearly enough. I've never had such sore muscles in my life and I feel like I will have a heart attack with much more straining. (I have a history of some minor heart problems and a history of stroke.) It's definitely aggravated some hemorrhoid problems and I hope hasn't caused any prolapse problems. Doug is on his way to pick up a stool softener. Still, please pray. As I said, I can't take much more.
