Janice, don't feel horrible.  Your question was valid.  I had to (The Devil 
made me do it) put a little spin on the answer.  I'm sorry if I embarrassed you.

Bowel Movement discussions are important as I believe we all have problems, and 
questions, from time to time. There are books (Long books) written on the 
subject. the major problems encountered relate to fecal dehydration, motility 
and peristalsis. Dehydration turns turds into rocks- not good. motility is 
enhanced by using bulking agents and mineral oil. And peristalsis is activated 
by rectal suppositories or prunes, or other OTC products like that chocolate 
stuff we used to mix in the chocolate icing to give that special person a 
special treat.

So we need to drink at least a quart of water a day. Eat lots of Bulk (Veges 
and meds like lactulose), and prunes or the equivalent .

I hope that helps, and it is true that hypnosis does help (Close your eyes and 
imagine the long train emerging from the dark tunnel)

2009-09-01 Thread ROSEOFRENO
Oh no, no, no Janicethere was absolutely  nothing
wrong with your question.  We DO talk about  everything
on this list and any concern is a valid one.
I got silly with Frank because I've known him for  about
12 yearsand know his sense of humor.
 
I read what he wrote about the prunes and wish  they
would work that way for me.  I can eat half a bag  of
dried prunes and they won't work for  me.but
if I warm 6 oz. of prune juice in the microwave it  works
in about 3 or so hours.  
I haven't tried stewed prunes...maybe that's the  difference.
 
As for digital removal ...when I was first paralyzed the  last
thing I thought about was the fact that I wasn't having a  bowel
movement.  I was dealing with hospitals, chiropractors,  doctors,
and so onand wondering why I was paralyzed in the first  place.
Finally it dawned on me..9 days later.I  spent 2-1/2 hours in
the bathroom taking care of the problem myself so I wouldn't  have
to have a doctor do it for me.
Trust meI know how you feel.

  *Hi Lynne,  *



  *Stewed prunes sometimes work for me also.  Whenever I am hospitalised, I
 usually have them twice a day.  Since I'm now mobile and out and about
 though, I don't use them quite as often as I tend to have accidents.  If I
 can be sure that I will not have to go out, and that no one will be stopping
 over, then I use them.  It doesn't eliminate the need for digi-stim totally,
 but makes the process much easier.  *
