That’s very true Dukie, all opioids will constipate you badly. Elvis allegedly died of a drug overdose, which is not entirely untrue, because although he died of a heart attack on the crapper, his death was caused by him straining to push a freight train through a mouse hole.
Apparently he hadn’t had a decent dump in several months, and had a mega impacted bowel, which contained around 40 pounds of poop when they weighed it at his autopsy. I had an impacted bowel when I had the gut surgery in 2018, caused by the special “Keto” meal replacement diet shakes I had to take for 2 weeks prior the surgery.
This was picked up by the radiologist who was doing a barium test (drinking a foul tasting chemical whilst being X Rayed to check for leaks) who said, “Holy hell, take a look at the size of that bowel!” My surgeon hadn’t noticed it during the surgery, but wouldn’t discharge (pun intended) me until I was unblocked, so the doctors first tried Laxatives and when that didn’t work, I had my first (and hopefully last) enema.
I’m happy that I didn’t end up with a “King” sized poop bag, that would have consigned me down the end of lonely street in the Heartbreak Hotel, where they found poor Elvis, face down on the tiles.
