A Load Off My Mind

If you had 2:20PM in the pool, Congratulations, you are a winner! The feeling to poop came on so fast that I was practically half way to the bathroom before Michele noticed I was still connected to the foley bag. Good catch, that might have hurt! I was afraid that pooping might hurt but it really didn’t. At the end I was rewarded with the feeling that I needed to pee; first time for that. Up until now it’s merely been a mechanical thing, “oh, it’s been an hour, time to pee.” Cleaning myself up after pooping is not yet second nature. I was afraid to wipe in the wrong place and mess up my stitches. I did my best and then rinsed off the area in the shower with the detachable spray head. When I was done I took a “Victory Lap” around the floor. The nurses just told me that 15 laps is a mile. The most I’ve done at one time is 2 laps.
