Reply to "Great news! My takedown surgery is tuesday. What should I bring?"

Hooray for you!  I brought a squirt bottle to fill with warm water to wash the backside after bm's.  Wiping = butt burn, and you won't be able to shower right away.   Also earplugs unless you have a private room.   This sounds weird, but also chewing gum.  When I had ileus, one of the residents gave me a stick of gum and within two hours I was going again.  I looked it up later, and that is known to work.  Just don't swallow it!
