I Have For About 6 Weeks Been Unable To Completely

I have for about 6 weeks been unable to completely empty my bowels it is so bad my abdomen and stomach is swollen to the point that I look like I am 5-6 months pregnant. I have tried, Senna, Dulcolax, Linzess, suppositories, enemas that wouldn't even stay inside of me, ColaceI tried Magnesium Citrate 8 oz worked a little bit, then drank more Magnesium Citrate 10 oz, I went a lot but still swelling in my abdomen and my actual stomach. So drank another 10oz of Magnesium Sulfate and it didn't do anything, all the while using suppositories hoping it would move myself along. Horrendous Drs. mistake, day in day out gallbladder removal, 4 months and 1 week I was in the hospital. He had cut my bile duct and a Gastroenterologist put a stent in which I remember nothing about, it wasn't big enough had to put a larger one in. Was after awhile sent to a nursing home then back in the hospital back and forth. I was supposed to get the stent out this past April, didn't happen as what happened to me the whole over 4 months has given me PTSD, I don't want to go to the hospital, as I know I will have a major panic attack. I almost died 3 times the first 5 weeks I was in the hospital I only remember 1 thing in that period of time. Not sure if the 35 pounds of fluid that was in me caused this problem or not, total memory loss, husband said they took 8 pints of fluid from around my heart and lungs, developed 4 blood infections should have been cured within a month no took me over 2 months to get rid of it. I usually take Senna every 3 days since I am on Oxycodone for chronic pain which that always works, I am on a lot of meds to keep me from having nausea or especially vomiting, as that is all I did for a month and a half was vomit, could only drink water, I had been on TPN the entire time whether in hosp or nursing home. I had lost a lot of weight so ate a whole can of Krafts cheese with crackers then next day I made Macaroni and cheese and I need to gain weight, used16 oz of single cheese slices, ate 2 big bowls and that is when it started.(CHEESE) Now me not getting that stent removed could be that is causing some of the problems which I really don't think it is. I am still able to pass gas and burping a lot. So I guess the main ? to avoid me to having to go to hospital can I drink which makes me want to vomit another bottle of Mag. Citrate and if it doesn't work can I drink another one after 12-14 hours as it says no more than 10oz in a day, I really do not think I can go to the hospital if I have to go to the hospital what will they do other than an xray to see if I have a blockage? I did not eat yesterday as the thought of food made me sick and the same thing last week couldn't eat. I do not think I can go to the ER I need advice as my Dr is out of town thanks
