Guest guest Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Sher, Thanks for the reminder of Miralax. I was on that for quite a while after the transplant. For no I intend to just try using Benefiber, which is what the gastro doctor recommended when I had all those problems around Christmas time. Originally I was not looking forward to having an Epidural tomorrow but after being on the 9th day of this severe pain I am ready to go have the Epidural done tomorrow morning. I pray that it will help and trust all you friends will keep me in your prayers also. I want to get better for my own benefit as well as to get better to encourage those of you who are willing to have a transplant. It is a miracle.

He told me to just take Morphine sulfite and stool softeners. Before he saw that photo he had always told me to drink . (I don't drink). I only drank an occassional glass of wine before my transplant; and now with all my meds I don't even do that and don't even drink a soda very often. Water is my favorite drink. > > My brother has had 3 back surgeries and is still on pain meds since. I think riding his Harley, his boat speedboat or his snow mobile helps him forget any back pain he has, especially if he has had . > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
