About Chriscross

Hello I had a left sided sigmoid colectomy 6 weeks ago ! Yes it felt like I had been in a road traffic accident and been rolled over by a steam roller , I have not been since seen by anyone and my results sent to me via my doctor! !! Results were good and no further chemo or any treatments Before my op everything was fast and very good but I feel very much alone and after all my strong attitude ,,I do get emotional now from time to time . Originally I had loose stools then a few formed ones but now last 2 weeks they were ribbon like ! I ate a ton of prunes ! That got rid of loose watery ones and goodness I felt better ! But they aren’t regular now and I can’t even say I feel like a poo. I can go a day without passing which isn’t me at all !! But I sit on toilet and just hope it comes , Should I take laxatives and if so what , Today I ate prunes and nothing as yet
