I had impacted bowels, completely obstructed bladder, as well as mild liver problems and dehydration.  I was there for about five days while they catheterized me and gave me more laxatives and enemas than I care to think about (and paid more attention to my shit than anyone&#8217;s paid since I had a similar problem 10 years ago).</p>
<p>I&#8217;m better now, but I am exhausted, and somewhat nauseated.  If I haven&#8217;t gotten to your emails, requests, comments, whatever, that&#8217;s why.  Don&#8217;t expect a lot right now.</p>
