Sorry to hear this Sharron....hope you dont have to wait too long <3

As it happened, he managed to get something into his leg bag himself so I rang back to the out of hours and told them I probably didn't need any advice this time.

I think the anti-biotics have started to work. He seems to be a bit more with it now.

And he has had his whisky.

That's lovely to hear Sharron...cheers Fred :-D <3

Whisky, that has to be a positive sign. Fingers crossed then.

He has not missed a whisky while he has been ill.

This one he had to follow with a glass of prune juice which did make me wonder what they would be like mixed together and how devastating the hangover would be should you ever be tempted to over- indulge in said mixture!

Sharron surprised medics have not given Fred the little brown tablet which moves/softens the bowel.

I have not asked them to.

He has not been eating his dried apricots while he has been unwell.

All the time we can do it with prunes and dried apricots we will not be resorting to more things from the medics if we/I can help it.

A rough few days Sharron, here's hoping that tomorrow is a better day for Fred and for you too. (((hugs))) for you both. xx

Hope Fred perks up soon, Sharron, and you can stop worrying.
I have to admit to agreeing with the 'natural laxative' approach. That's what his body is used to. The antibiotics could be causing the 'blockage'.
My body reacts in the opposite way to antibiotics - even if it says 'may cause constipation' - my body laughs at this warning :-S :-0 :-(

OH has just been downstairs and he says it looks like we have Fred back, Goh help us!

Unfortunately the liquid Pickfords hasn't worked yet but it looks like he will be again leading us a merry dance through life.

:-D 'Liquid Pickfords'

I'd take a few deep breaths before it 'kicks in' - it could be difficult for a time afterwards..... :-S

Awww, bless him. Fred lives on to fight another day!!!
I do hope that it's a less stressful one for you Sharron. Thank goodness for your sense of humour which obviously is keeping you going. xx

I hope today has been a better one for you all and that Fred has continued to improve in health.

Geronimo or whatever that Indian was called!

Fred must have lost a good half stone tonight and there is soe more kept back for the morning carers too.

Good old prunes.

Thinking of you and Fred

Yayyy.............that's another load off your minds then :-D

GOOD OLD FRED,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Hurray! :-D :-D :-D

Hope he's on the mend now Sharron x

I am just glad I can still work the magic with prunes and not have to resort to medication.

I have just been reading through Sharron..

I hope now that Fred has had a bit of a clear out.......he will back to his usual self in a day or two.

He certainly likes to keep you on your toes!
