3. Carol's liver has been hurting......

..sharp pains and not just an ache. I assume it's the lesions rubbing on something because of all the fluid she is carrying. She takes a hydrocodone for them ususally, but is constipated from the pain pills, so she doesn't want to take another till she deficates. Any good remedies for constipation other than stool softeners. She can't have anything with aspirin in it cuz of the liver mets.

She's only vomited one time, as well, but her blood counts are too low and she can't take the chemo that was scheduled for tomorrow. So, we'll go in for bloodwork and to see the chemo doc tomorrow to see how to proceed.
