I appreciate everything you said, Janet. You weren't even close to being carried away...I "want" to know these things. If I start to have problems with it...I'll look back on what you've said here. So, my passing 6-7 times with it was a good thing then, huh? I figure it will take me some time to see if it will work right for me. Where are my normal days of waking up and passing one bowel movement every morn before work? whoa ess me. Either it's no movements at all or all afternoon. Blah.
