I've never in my life been constipated(70 years, a pregnancy, hysterectomy, hemorrhoidectomy), and I can see now how blessed I've been! Don't know yet what the combo is that suddenly brought this about, but it's been 24 hours and I just returned from a painful 40-mile RT trip for daily radiation. The nurse suggested Senokot, which I took about an hour ago and I'm now sipping some split pea soup.

Good grief, this is awful. I've known people from my past who suffered constipation on a regular basis and I have no idea how they managed to function.

This too shall pass (literally). (I'm such a whiner.)
