Warm prune juice. Lots of it. What i used after my surgery

[Steve-o]

You can try this tea.  Can't guarentee that it will work, but it won't hurt.  Should be able to get it at Target or Walgreens or some grocery stores carry it.  Maybe call first.

[glenn57]

  I stock that stuff on the shelf!

If you really need a power shot take a shot or two of Milk of Magnesia!  That will clean you out in minutes.  Don't take a road trip after taking this.  It really works.  I was so plugged up after a surgery that is was worse than the surgery pain.  FINALLY the wife said try this.  May have saved my life..   

[Dotch]

OMG! I remember my parents giving us that stuff when I was a kid, like 4 or 5 years old. Not sure why but that might've been it. I don't know what it tastes like now but it was just awful then. Ick!

Milk of Magnesia is like liquid chalk.  Down it like a shot of tequila and don't think about it.  LOL

[glenn57]

[Dotch]

Speaking of that, I wonder how boober's therapy sessions have been going?

That's how I did the gallon of liquid plumber they give you before a colonoscopy. My talents doing shots proved to be invaluable. Otherwise that stuff was like bad pu$$y with a lemon aftertaste...

[Dotch]

This whole COVID thing appears to be coming apart at the seams. My buddy who was pretty adamant about people wearing masks, social distancing, getting shots, etc., just came down with COVID for the 2nd time after having had 5 COVID shots.

so........just how sick is he with this covid???????? i've always been curious what symptoms these people have??????/

[Dotch]

Talked to him yesterday. Said it felt like he had a mild case of the flu. Hasn't lost the sense of taste & smell yet that I'm aware of. Last summer when he had it, he claimed it was more like a bad cold. Said they'd given him some drugs this time around that seemed to be helping. Must've been. He laughed at all my stupid jokes! Doctor Dotch's recommendation: Lots of rest, VSOP & cocoa.
