I had my j-pouch formed in November and so far it has been a good recovery. I have developed a small hernia however and other than being uncomfortable it is not bothering me too much.
…on to the ranting bit…
Yesterday (New Years Eve) I was very excited about adopting new kitties. I did not sleep well and could hardly wait to bring them home. When I get excited or anxious my bowel moves much more quickly than normal. That's OK because I was at home, on my own. Fast forward to the party I attended last night. I only ate bread and crackers but was in the bathroom every 45 minutes and sometimes I had to rush a little bit. I was continually checking to see if anyone else was using it and when I did go upstairs I had to take my purse with me as it contains my wipes and bum cream. All I could do was imagine what the other guests were thinking about me. Of course this was all negative…she is purging, she is doing drugs, she has the worlds smallest bladder, she is drinking in secret.
I know they probably were not paying attention that closely but in my mind they were counting and timing the number of trips that I made.
After a banana for breakfast my tummy has settled a little bit but is still more active than normal. You'll be glad to know that the kitties are starting to settle in too!
Thanks for listening.
