Hi Denise, When I read your post, it really hit home!!! I have always
been extremely active but now I have to be very careful. I love flowers
and my husband helped me plant a large flowerbed. There are some days
when just bending over is too painful. I have found that I try to look
at things differently since I have been ill. I have almost died 3
times, I still have a hard time believing it myself. I try to live each
day to the fullest. The simple things in life give me pleasure now. I
am an antique collector, I love anything Victorian and I enjoy the
fragrance and beauty of flowers. I did want to share something that
might help you. Due to adhesions on my intestines I have to keep things
moving. I believe you mentioned this as well. I started putting about
2 tablespoons in a glass of orange juice at bedtime. Mineral oil is
odorless and tasteless and seems to be helping me, maybe you should try
this. Hope you have a better day tomorrow. Sherry
