Thank you all very much. Thankfully I had a moderate BM on Sunday followed by more & the pain has gone but still sore & feeling delicate & weak. Tonight I had a small baked potato without skin, puree carrots & some beans, all well tolerated. I have a headache that Paracetamol just about releives & am drinking plenty of liquids with added Sodium & Potassium. Waiting for the clinic to call.
BTW, the stool softener, Macrogol was a disaster, made me leak uncontrolled that reminded me of the bad old days.
Feeling much brighter though & once again thanks, I would not have known what it was without your input.
Paul
