Where did we leave off with 💩?!
Fingering out the specifics…..literally.

As mentioned in last post, there are 4 methods to assist our stubborn lack of signaling from the brain to our balloon knot gate keeper; manual removal (bearing down-pushing etc), digital stimulation (sticking a finger thru the stinky freckle to stimulate pooping and/or finger it out) , suppository (push magic bullet thru rusty Cheerio. Wait 20 minutes or more for bowel & intestines to react and hopefully poop), and/or mini-enema (faster working version of a suppository, insurance rarely covers).

Some of us sit in the porcelain office for 10 minutes, others for 2 hours or more. Some of us with less finger dexterity—or none use special tools or personal care attendants. This process, to me, was humiliating at first. It still can be even now on camping trips or sharing a hotel room. Sitting on the toilet for extended times, sticking a finger in my ass, #rubbergloves the uncertainty if poop is not interested in the swimming pool below. If not, would I then have an accident later in the day! #rememeberihavenosenseofsmell #spinalcorsinjurymeanslossofsensationtoo

The most important part of not feeling our bowels, the crossed-up or dead wire aka Spinal Cord and last nights 🥃 doing its work is creating a poop routine. Like every morning or every night. Some do their poop routine every other day due to the time consuming nature of the routine.

Now you know! Spinal Cord Injury is the gift that keeps on giving! 🤩😤🤡. Cheers!!!
