AFib and Enemas

This past Sunday Adrienne was beside herself with pain in her bottom- "My bottom hurts!" She kept asking us to wipe her bottom. She had not had a bowel movement in several days so the wife went to the store and purchased a child's enema which we adminstered. The first try the wife inserted and squirted but didn't pull the mini turkey baster out before letting go of the bulb so it just sucked all the medication back into the enema. So she had to reinsert while I held Adrienne down screaming. She then removed the baster before letting go of the bulb and the medication reached the colon as needed. The bonus was that when the wife pulled out the turkey baster she got a few good squirts of shit on her arms. She just loves getting shit on.

About one minute later Adrienne had explosive shit in the toilet where it was supposed to be. She had immediate relief from her pain. That was two days ago.

Now she still has not had a bowel movement since the enema and we are concerend that she is constipated again because she is complaining that her bottom hurts. The wife bought some oral laxative but it takes 12 hours to work. We will keep our fingers crossed that the laxative works. I am of the impression that Adrienne is afraid it will hurt to poop (due to the constipation) so she won't try. Whe she won't try to poop it just keeps getting worse.

Today I am pretty sure I went into Atrial Fibrillation. I had eaten lunch at home as was sitting in front of my computer (what an unusual occurance) and I notice my heart jumping around in my chest. It was pretty much the same feeling I had gotten before when I was in Atrial Fibrillation. I drove to work and went in for a while and went straight back home. I laid on the bed for about twenty minutes and took my blood pressure which was normal. I then was back in rhythm. Thank Zeus!!! I hate being in atril fibriallation! I hope this shit doesn't start happening again after the two surguries I have been through.
