Guest guest Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 sorry folks, I have to laugh.....never thought I'd be sharing my " toilet issues " with hundred of folks online~ I must say, even though I feel a tremendous amount of sadness in knowing there are so many folks affected by the diarhea.....I was at the same time relieved to know I am not so far from " normal " for this group....lol <dont' mean to offend....just nice to fit in somewhere> Around my parents' house (they live next door) with them both being in their mid-70s...bowel movements are a topic of conversation at the dinner table.... My dad and I have sort of made a game of giving the bathroom visits a nickname... for instance.... He calls it " gotta go call Ms. " and he may add " and this one's gonna be long distance, so don't wait up for me " . Sometimes I'll ask if he " got through to Ms , or was her line busy again " . (OK, I admit we're a strange family.) or things similar to that accompany any family member using the bathroom. As I look at this, maybe my family needs to join a mental-health group online.....we seem to find humor in then oddest places ~ Donna Womack Fort Worth, TX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 " and this one's gonna be long distance, so don't wait up for me " . Coffee up the nose on that one. Love your dad. My mother managed to pull a little ol' lady trick and break her radius. She and I are on the same narcotic. Lots of poop talk. Gawdess, I am only 51 and am having conversations that should not have come along for two decades or so. Thanks for the laugh. Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 Donna, at least you can find the humor there. With chronic illness, humor is as necessary as breathing to give us a break from an otherwise horrid existence. So don't worry, you don't need a mental health group. We can all use a good laugh now and then. Kimber -- Kimber Vallejo, CA hominid2@... Note: All advice given is personal opinion, not equal to that of a licensed physician or health care professional.
