/Tina(and all who fear the enema)

[Guest guest]

Just so you know, my doc did NOT do the enema and I wish he had!! Yes

you read that right. I wish he HAD. Instead they gave me a ton of

laxatives and stool softeners after the surgery. In fact, they gave

me so many that I was afraid I wouldn't make it home(1hour drive).

It was quite comical because my toilet broke the morning after the

laxatives really kicked into overdrive. It just kept flushing and

flushing. I thought I overloaded it! It turned out to be a broken

pipe a couple of floors down. Needless to say, I was anxious for the

maintenance men to finish and get out of there.

So, for those of you who fear the enema, take heed. There are worse

alternatives. Let's not forget, no one wants to " bear down " with a

big ole abdominal incision. So grin and bear it(or should I say bare

it). LOL.

Really, they're not that bad...not pleasant, but not that bad. I had

one when I ended up in the hospital for abdominal pain once. I guess

the worst part for me was having a complete stranger shoot water up

you-know-where!!! Just make sure you bring reading material to the

poddie after your enema, 'cause when you think you're done, YOU " RE

NOT!!

---with my seven children, I got so if I didn't do one at home, I'd

ask for one before labor got to hard. One nurse told me it probally

helped with the easier labor/delivery....hugs~~kelly
