LOL......reminds me of my last trip to the hospital.....I was warned that I couldn't bring ANY drugs or vitamins.........soooooo (already having been prepped about the horrible constipation that followed the surgery and the fact that I would NOT be allowed to go home until I had 1) been able to negotiate steps 2) had a 'movement') .....I took with me a big plastic bag filled with all kinds of cosmetics....hair brushes, etc.....and some small bottles of vitamins, herblax, magnesium and stool softener.........he he he......and several times a day and night I would dip into my bag and grab a herblax and stool softener...and some magnesium.....he he he......I had no trouble passing #1 and # 2 but finally one of the nurses said "boy! you wear a lot of make-up......" He he he...... Lee
