hugs my dear friend, i hope the doctors can get it sorted, have you tried her on a cup of prune juice a day, mum does it and has no bowl problems at all now. maybe worth a go.

Oh that is worrying @Shaz51 I hope it is not too serious.

Somehow manageable without surgery.

As you know, I had a life-threatening bowel obstruction (tumor/ volvulus) - that almost ended me on the spot (4 major bowel surgeries, in the end).

Keeping mum in for a few more days @outlander , @Determined , @Adge , @Smc , @Former-Member

And then she will have to go up everyday for her arm to be redressed

Re: Not sure what to do !!!

A few more days @Shaz51 I hope that brings better outcomes for her, in those few days.

Having to go back every day for new dressings (after that) - that's a lot of effort/ travel.

Sure is @Adge

We will have to take her up as she does not feel confidence in her buggy anymore
