So for anyone fearing the post-tear poop, as I was tremendously, especially after 2 days passed without it, I have one word... COFFEE🙌🏼.  My MIL is here and after dropping our oldest at the bus so kindly went to Dunkin for a caramel iced coffee I've been wanting so much.  Halfway through, it was time.  All the stool softeners in the world couldn't complete the task😂 So glad that's over.
