I writing this to distract me from the fact I have two suppositories inserted deep into my rectum at the moment don't read if your are squmism or don't like poo.
I'm back home from my appendix operation which a success thanks for folks support. although i think it was a lot more brutal than your average appendix op given the pain i've been in and the brusing have. It has meant I've been on the full wack of tramadol with morphine top ups.
I saw a lot of things i didn't like about the NHS whilst I was there and also some desperately sad cases of people battling terminal cancer which inspiring how stoical people are and put my issues into insignificance i'll better in a few weeks I doubt if some of the folk i shared the ward with will ever leave.
As many you will know that opiates such as morphine induce constipation. According to the film transpotting coming off them results in chronic diarrhea in my case it couldn't be less true. The combination of morphine, lying down for five days and the essentially fruit or veg less food that I have eaten since ive been in hospital has resulted in a solid lump of impacted poo the diameter of a wine bottle stuck at the wrong side of my bum bum.. It simply to big to pass and ever so slightly uncomfortable.
So I call my GP practice nurse ho very helpful she prescribed stool softerner for my future babies and has recommended some “glycerol suppositories” which soften the stool of doom. Kindly my wife pooped out of work to bring me my softners of the stool. Well the first two fail completely to do anything as I didn't inset them deep enough. With the third one in place I lie down reduce the effects of gravity and do bit of surfing. After about 30 minutes I can feel the urge to dump. I run to the loo in hope but all that I expel is the dissolved capsule mixed in the poo like a stinky hp sauce. But because my ring in battered and this mixture has no viscosity I can't stop it from flowing so now i'm stuck with a massive poo with no where to go and anal leakage. On my first day out of hospital when supposed to be resting i've spent over 7 hours trying to poo, i've not taken any painkiller to see that will help so im in agony and all the pushing is straining my wound.
I suppose I'm frustrated as I can see if this doesn't pass soon I'll end up back in A&E tonight and probably not get seen till late tonight. It annoys me that the ward I was on who essentially are responsible for my condition have no responsibility to sort this out and I have to go back into the cycle GP and A&E to be seen by someone
Look I know its only a poo and there are people who are far worse off than me, I didn't intend to spend the day on the Loo.
I have inserted two to see if that works and i'm sat on a plastic sheet
