Day 17 and I still have diarrhea. Got my doctor to decrease my pain med interval from every six hours to one every four hours. This really sucks. They made me get out of my nice hospital bed to sit on a padded reclining chair for about three hours this morning. Was hurting my butt like hell to sit on the chair because it places pressure directly on my compressed nerve. I can't roll over a bit to relieve the pressure.
