Constipation

I am in great pain today! This is because I am unable to poo! I strain & I strain & I strain, & I am only able to get a small bit of poo out. Mummy told Por Por, who is also here today, that my last major dump was Saturday. I didn't poo very tin bits on Sunday, & nothing at all on Monday. I cry very loudly as I feel so uncomfortable. I can see that Mummy is very heartpain for me & I cry even more!

Mummy calls Dr Steven's clinic & gets an appoinment to see Dr Steven. We get there & wait for my turn. When it is my turn, I see Dr Steven, & while he is examining me, I poo a bit more of poo, but Dr Steven could see that I still have poo stuck in me. Hence, Dr Steven & Jess (clinic receptionist) try to put a suppository into me. After putting the 1st half of the suppository, I was able to poo a bit more. Only upon putting the 2nd half of the suppository, I was able to poo most of the stuck poo out. But it was very distressful for me & I cried very loudly. But Dr Steven says that I should be fine by now, since I had gotten the worst of it out.

Upon checking with Mummy what I had consumed to cause the constipation, Mummy said that I had eaten carrots. Dr Steven reminded Mummy to ensure the carrots are cooked thoroughly. If the carrots are too raw, I would not be able digest it properly & that could be one of the reasons for the constipation. Mummy assured Dr Steven & me too, that she would cook all food thoroughly & monitor me for further instances of constipation.

After that, Mummy collected my medicine & we went home. Upon reaching home, I managed to poo out more poo & clean out my system. By then, I am also back to my normal cheery self. Mummy assured me again that she would cook all my meals thoroughly, as she doesn't want me to go through such an ordeal again. She told me that it was very heart-rending for her to hear me cry like that. I hope this is my 1st & last constipation episode too, as it is really a most unpleasant experience.
