Why do I always seem to start these things... LOL

I was "bound up" for 4 or 5 days even with taking stool softeners. finally I asked my wife to get some prune juice before I exploded; 12 hours later... well lets just say that I was not going to get off that stool until the earth moved. Boy did it move!

Now I know what you ladies experience with childbirth... ;-)
 
"Off that stool"? Is that a Freudian slip, Mud? Or did you mean loo?

Well, on this side of the "pond" Jo we don't generally use the term "loo" but 'stool" "pot" "can" "thrown" and "john" are all acceptable nicknames for "toilet". ;-)
 
oohh!! I see! vive la differance, eh?
 
Ummmm yea no comparison Mud! You can't even put them in the same sentence!

Isn't it funny tho how obsessed you become with a simple bodily function? Ahh its all about that first P@@P. What a relief!

Oh, absolutely no comparison!! (Not to mention a huge difference in the end result!) :)

And just wait until you experience the diametrical opposite--the colonoscopy prep!
 
Haha! Mud!!!! NO comparison!!! none, no way , nada!!! We "kinda sorta" knew what you were aiming at (haha!!!), but other than dealing with kidney stones, you guys honestly don't have a clue! That's why we women bear babies! :)
 
Alright, maybe that wasn't my most brillant comment. ;-)

But it was still AWLFUL....
 
"AWLFUL?" Mud!!! You are a true gentleman! That's why we love you! Because you are MAN enough to apologize......good man!!! ;)
 
I warmed up some prune juice to help my 85 year old Dad, and it worked and worked and worked.......! i will have to remember that remedy for myself
 
Mud
You are right , it is awful. And I sure could not imagine how much childbirth hurt, so you guys will never get it!!
Thanks for apologizing!!!
judy
 
I don't know what was funnier,,,giving your Dad warm prune juice (never heard of THAT!!!), or REMEMBERING to take it when you need it! Oye!!! :)
 
Warmed up prune juice? Hmmm .... Is that more effective that cold stuff?
 
Jo,,,maybe we should have a contest.....sorry, not volunteering for the WARM prune juice! :)
 
Oh this page really made me laugh, I had an epidural for my op and my biggest fear was that I would have a toilet accident when I was numb, I even asked the anaesthetist, if this was possible and he just laughed and told me he had never known it before.
I needn't have worried it was about 4 days after the op before I went and that was with some help from senekot and something else that came in a sachet. There were three of us in the bay and one by one, me being the 2nd we would come back from a trip to the loo and either be the same, or making the announcement IV'E BEEN and having, the biggest smile on our faces. It was like we were in competition. Oh the memories : )
 
The thread is so funny - you can't help by chuckle. I too had an epidural, my first, and like Curlynne is was worried about an accident. When they wheeled me into the OR, every member of the team was male - not a woman in sight. My heart sank thinking I was going to be so embarrassed if I mess myself. Right before going under I made offered a sheepish blanket apology to them all. They all laughed and said it hardly ever happens, and if it does, it wouldn't be the first time for any of them. Oh well, nothing I could do about it anyway!
