Son is ill

Thank you Kim, it is good to hear from you! I am thrilled to be done with these treatments, hopefully it makes me a stronger person. I am still trying to figure out how this trial is somehow "good" for me, maybe someday I can help someone going through a similiar trial. I know some day I will understand, but maybe not now. Guess I need to rely on God more and not myself to get through these things.

I am doing OK. I have good news to report, a new granddaughter, just 1 1/2 weeks old! I am going to visit for several weeks later this week. Can't wait to see my two beautiful granddaughters!

How was your visit with your grandchildren?

I agree with Cheryl here, I think it's more important to take a daily small dose than skipping a day or two.

I lowered my dose when I was weaning off Movicol.

Do you have pain, or is it just blood?

I am doing OK fissurewise, don't think it will be good.

Thanks Corsi,
I will try the lowered dose today. Are you still on Movicol? I do have soreness and discomfort for several days to a week after the blood. sometimes there is a little blood sometimes there is alot. After an episode I try to be more careful. It is so frustrating because I think I am finally healed after months then this happens again and again. If I don't take the movical/miralax, my digestive process doesn't seem to want to get rid of the bm's on its own. It may work for several days to a week and I think maybe I don't need the miralax but I then I do.
