Poop

Finally, the endoscope laxative drug has my bowels working. One step closer to to getting out of here. 

Dropping the IV steroid

Doctors just popped around. Looks like it just severe constipation causing the pain. They haven’t looked at the xrays yet so it may still be a blockage or something down in my bowels but we will see later today what they say.

They are dropping the IV steroid and switching me to a lower dose of oral steroid. That is a good sign as it means I am one step closer to leaving.

Feeling better

Bloating etc has gone. Man that was painful. Started at midnight, my tummy bloated up and the pain was bad. I was in so much pain I started sweating and shaking. Slowly though it subsided after 4 hours. It is nearly lunch and I feel OK. Helps that I am totally whacked on Fentanyl :-) Man this stuff leaves you confused between reality and fantasy land!
