Jaydog.... it’s not always so daunting after Takedown.... from the very beginning I was only having 3 to 4 BMs per day.
Within days of my Takedown, I had a 4 hour journey back home, 3 hours by Train.
I can’t remember the time I left the Hospital but I used the toilet before leaving and after various train journeys later, it was a good few hours, maybe 6 before I had to use the toilet again.
It will be 6 years in January 2021 since my Takedown and I still have 3 to 4 BMs per day; not every day; some days it can only be 2, other days maybe 5; in fact it’s never less than 2 and very very rarely more than 5.
There’s also hours and hours in between BM’s; more often than not I will use the toilet in the morning, then not need to empty my pouch again until 7 hours later.
I do tend use the toilet more so in the evenings but it’s easily controlled and doesn’t impede upon my life or day to day activities.
