Addendum to Oncology appointment 08/14; 08/15

This month Jerry has a terrible time with constipation... his constipation and the pain associated with it was so bad this month that I was concerned Jerry might cause himself a heart attack. Jerry's doctor is changing Jerry's regiment from taking stool softener's (1-3 day) to a laxative (1 every day). I won't go into any disgusting details but Jerry overdosed on the stool softener's and now he's paying for it several days later. I am sure going (not a pun) from one extreme (being constipated) to another (diarrhea) is not good for his body every month. So hopefully, making this switch will help to avoid this situation in the future. Over the past several months to the last year, this situation was also progressively getting worse.
