    So yeah, keep pushing the fibre and the fluids.
    That is what *I* was hinting at in my inimitable, delicate and lady-like wording.

    Wish I knew genteel code words for "stool softener", but if you're not mobile & on the pain meds, sometimes even the fiber can use a little help.

    Hope you're able to get outdoors even a little soon!

    me again

    K me again

    For the last few weeks the only place i've been able to sleep is on our couch. 'The main reason is as follows:
    1-when i move from a resting flat position to a seated position on our bed, i get dizzy
    2-If i try and lay(propped up a bit) a little bit on my right side on our bed & even on the couch, i get dizzy.

    I don't mind being injured-the leg brace & sling don't bother me. The dizzyness bothers me grrr..

    Any ideas? Could it be the way the collarbone moved & is pinching on something?

    I have a fup appt with the orth dr on thurs. If he doesn't answer my questions to my satisfaction, do i go to my own dr & complain?

    Any ideas would be wonderful.

    Thanks

    you bet! I'd be calling the doc today, not waiting for the next appt.

    Dizziness worries me!

    Dizziness has a lot of different causes. Most of them innocuous but some of them serious. The safest answer is to contact a Doc. I'll send you more details.
