     Hope I get through this OK.  Pressure in rectum is unbearable...just liquid poo coming out now.  Don't know how I am going to get through this stress echo and they won't operate unless I pass it ...ugh! cry

Put on a pair of Depends and go to your exam.

Yup, I agree with Suebear- a hefty shot of Immodium may help too. And just think, this is all going to end soon!

     Don't have time to go out for Depends but I am wearing Kotex pads and am taking more with me with a change of clothes...ugh..this is horrible.  I have to keep thinking....And this too shall pass....otherwise I would never get through the day.

Right, I would think you'd just need to do the best you can and go for it. I think probably the heart testing is standard before any kind of surgery? I had to do that before my hip surgery also.

I'd definitely do the imodium, and continue to use it before the surgery.

I would also ask if they have the depends at the hospital or purchase them there (most hospitals have a store for that type of thing them).
