2 weeks post reconstruction surgery update

The first week post reconstruction surgery was a blur since most of the time I was given Valium, Percocet and anti nausea meds on four hour intervals so I mostly slept. I was up for daily walks per doctor's orders. I did these before meds wore off.

But because I slept a lot I forgot to drink more water. I wish I set an alarm for this because it meant the first and second week I was -- like post mastectomy -- so heavily constipated. I think, in hindsight, I should have tripled my water intake.
Nothing thereafter helped. I had reached the point of no return. Tried all of these across two weeks without none working:

1. Stool softener
2. Miralax
3. Lots of fiber
4. Lots of water
5. Dulcolax
6. Peri colace
7. Prunes
8. Prune juice
9.  Cocktail of miralax plus dulce lax plus peri colace all at once
10. Lots of chia seeds
11. Colonics
12. Magnesium


And then... my mom, who recently traveled, came and gave me meds her doctor-brother-in-law gave her. It's called sodium picosulfate.

Where did we go after I was more comfortable and less blocked?  Legoland! Thankful for my mom!
