Constipation for 5 day after an operation?
Its not uncommon. There are varying degrees of anesthesia. For more serious and invasive procedures the patient is put under deeper. When under deep anesthesia the patient's intestines may cease peristalsis. Peristalsis is the slow, rhythmic radial contraction of the intestine, which moves the waste material along. On coming out of anesthesia the patient is usually under narcotics, and this can slow the body's resumption of peristalsis. In the US these days they like to hustle patients out of the hospital just as soon as possible after surgery, but the patient generally can not be discharged until after the patient has had a post-operative bowel movement.

No it didn't. The war in Europe would last almost another year before Germany surrendered unconditionally in May 1945. What D-Day do was to open up a 2nd front that the Russians had been pressuring for a long time. Up till June 6, 1944, the Soviet Union had borne the brunt of the fighting and had tied down most of the German army. It need the Western Allies to invade France so that the Germans would be force to transfer forces to the west. The success of D-Day ended any German illusion of total victory.

What was the turning point in western front of war in Europe?
Some people might tell you that it was the Normandy Invasions, more commonly known as "D-Day". However, this question is open to interpretation.
Personally, I believe the Battle of Britain was the major turning point in the Western European Theatre. France had been defeated in three weeks, and the Russians were taking a beating as well. It wasn't looking good for the allies in the early stages of the war.
However, in order for the Germans to take Britain (and therefore control Western Europe entirely), they had to control the skies of the English Channel and knock out nearby British air bases; without this, British fighters and bombers could blow German transports during an amphibious assault right out of the water. As we all now know, however, the British were able to repel the Luftwaffe in one of the longest and greatest aerial battles of all time (the British owe a lot of their success to the recent development of the radar; this invention had come just in time for them, as they were able to tell where the Germans were coming from long before they crossed the English Channel). If Germany had successfully invaded England, it would turn the war into a full one-front war against the Russians, and Stalin could not win that war.
Now that the British held out, this gave the Americans a staging ground for an amphibious assault on the beaches of Normandy. We all know how the rest of the story goes.
Again, this is an interpretation. Some people might have other opinions.
