Thanks everyone for the support and advice.
As I tell the doctors every morning, "I feel ok, just cramped up and nothing really coming out of my body". Honestly, I am a bit frustrated at this point. They seem kind of content to let me sit here and eat clear liquids and wait. In my opinion, there has to be *something* amiss in there for me to have stopped passing of even gas, which I do a lot of often. A kink or fold or something along that line of thinking. My last two attempts at a BM resulted in a little gas output, which is a change. But overall, frustrating.
Not sure what to do at this point. I can easily be home, cramped, on fluids and ABs. What else can be done here at the hospital at this point? At this point, a 5-day stay, relatively no change since I came in, and no end in sight. What's the plan?
