Hi Anne-

I am thinking about you! Sorry you had a bit of a rough week. Hopefully now that you know what to expect things will get easier--at least less stressful.

Miralax is a great product but often takes a couple of days to get results. Decreased activity level, pain meds, and decreased fluid intake can all contribute to constipation. The stool softener is good also-- you might want to just stay on a stool softener one to two times a day.

Glad your husband is there with you over the week-end.

Susan
