Probably too much info, but relevant to any description of homeless life.
It's outrageously difficult to stay hydrated when you're broiling in the summer heat for 12 hours every day. I was constipated for at least a week. My medical condition makes me prone to constipation anyway.
Stool softeners alone don't work very well. I had one of the doctors at the VA prescribe me some polyethylene glycol. This is a big jug of powder similar to Mylanta. You mix it with water. I swilled a dose the other day.
Day before yesterday, I took a huge dump that was rather hard and dry. Then last night I took another massive crap that slid out moist and easy. I'm literally five pounds lighter now, and feeling pretty good.
