I'm very happy to hear that Cat is doing well.

Re: Post abdominal surgery stories. A few years back I had to have an anglinal hernia repair. I herniated a stomach muscle through my wolfian duct(which is very common in men) and after the surgery they told me to take stool softeners to help get things normal again. Well I decided to take about half a bottle of them,within hours after the surgery. Despite those pills, I still did not bm for a full two days after the surgery

The next day after the surgery, I had to attend to business and since I didn't have a car it meant I had to take the subway to get to what I needed to do. When on the subway car, I couldn't help it and farted. I watched, as the entire subway car slowly had a look of complete and utter shock hit their faces as they had to smell what just escaped my body slowly fill the entire train car. Three stops in the passengers were still greeted with my stench.

Later that day, I experienced a similar situation at my apartment. Again, I was afraid to clench and just let one rip unfortunately. My girlfriend sitting next to me immediately admonished me for the wrench of sewage that left my body, but it took a full three minutes for my roommate sitting across the room to shout out "Oh god" as the the stench wafted across the living room.

Ohhh nooo John…lol. Yes, praise the Lord for His answers to our prayers! Speaking from my former nursing background, please suggest to Cat that she rests well throughout the day…so her body can economize the energy that is returning and be put towards the cells, tissues and overall healing process. Thanks so much for sharing your wit with us.

Cat is lucky she was able to let the gas out that way, in certain cases the air has no significant escape route and so moves around the body, getting up as far as the shoulders. That is painful, so I am reliably informed. The gas eventually dissipates over 2 – 3 days.

Great to hear things are well with you and that the prayers were more than answered.

Thanks for the concerto. I assume Cat is used to you posting her very personal experiences for our edification. Tell her "thank you" for us all. Laughter is so good for the soul!

We're so happy she is well.

hee hee hee!! Yup, I've known a bunch of people who got abdominal surgery and it's that waiting for breaking wind that is so tense and at the same time so funny… I'm glad she is home, well, back on her feet and wearing you out with her energy!!
