Oh god it scared me..
But I am still having trouble.. Not as bad as it was.. The stool softener
seems to be helping some.. I may need to check in with Doc so I can make
sure everything is alright..
This long wait is making things worse in more ways then one..
Portia/hugs Thanks for everyone's support..
Don't worry be happy!! :-)
