sherry, that is what i worry about, why should I call if I cannot go? I
was told that as long as there is no vomitng, I have knothing to worry
about, I went easy on senekot for awhile, now the 9vegetable laxative
does not work. They told me that taking the laxative for so long as
caused lazy bowel. I don't know.
On top of all this, my mothers bowel was strangled, and gangrene set in
and she died 3 years ago, so they have to understand my concerns.
Di te oxycontin not help your pain much either, she told me I can only
take it every 12 hours. What strength did you take?
