Gloria, glad to hear your update on how you're
feeling. I, too feel my original problems are a
little better...but, I just have new ones to deal
with. I guess we can't have it all, huhu? I must be

taken me 4 weeks to get to a point of....NOW. (How
else do I describe what point I'm at...it's just now.
LOL) What I hate the most is not pooping like a
normal human does. All the grunts and groans from the
bathroom...my hubby says it sounds like I'm pushing my
lung out of my butt. LOL Love, Marianne
