3 hours in the ER and a cat scan to prove it - I'm full of s#it. This should come as no surprise to those who know me well - lol!
I can't believe I'm posting this but it was too funny not to share (well it's funny now. I wouldn't have thought so earlier today.) Was having horrible lower abdominal pain for 24 hours - almost went to the ER last night but realized I had some Vicodin and took it instead. Woke up this AM, took a shower and thought I was better but the pain came back. Went back to sleep and got up around noon and decided I better work a half day. By 5PM my boss was telling me to go to the hospital - I even looked like hell because I was getting bloated and you could see it in my face. So off to the ER I went. Pelvic exam showed nothing; blood tests nothing, so off to the cat scan I went. 45 mins later, the PA came in and said, "everything looked normal on your cat scan except for one thing - you have a lot of poop in you." Then the doctor came in and confirmed it - sent me home with a prescription for something that doesn't even need a prescription. It was $3.79 at Walgreens - but I can't wait to see the hospital bill.
So go ahead - I'm ready for the jokes and waiting for the first person to reply, "Hope everything comes out ok!" (Oops - sorry - beat ya to it!)

at the hospital as part of a prep, pt's take 4 dulcolax and then 2 hours later take 4 more. imagine that linda my friend.....
Holy crap (literally!) :shock:
I took 3 at bedtime and then another this morning. Can't imagine if I'd taken anything more than that - that's all I can say.

Holy crap (literally!) :shock:What did the ER dr. tell you to take or do? It sounds like the Dulcolax or the OTC stuff did the trick. :clap_1:

The ER doc gave me Colace which I took for 4 days with no success; but a certain pharmacist friend of mine recommended something else!!!!
