So I have these two jp drains in. They're in such locations that I've had to devise a unique way to hold the 'grenades' in the wasteband of my pants and arrange the tubes so they they have slack and don't kink...and I can stand and sit. Took a bit but I have it figured out. The downside is that it's a slow and meticulous process to get the pants raised and lowered.

When we add in that I've been on a fast pred wean (40 to currently 15 in 2 weeks), the symptoms they've been keeping down are now back.

So now I'm getting hit with the 'urgency' we all know and love. Combine that with the slow and careful removal of said pants and you get...potty dancing! I was in the midst of a dance session a little while ago and it occurred to me how absolutely, fantastically silly it would look if someone were to see me. This for some reason sent me on a laughing fit, which of course made it impossible to go slow and made the urgency worse.

How I got out of that without soiling myself I still don't know...still smiling about it.

You got to find humor in this disease, it really helps. I mean the amount of time we spend discussing poop and our bowel movements and how excited we may get over a normal BM.

I'm a 20 year old who has to wear depends to bed because I don't have much control in the rectum muscle because of abscess eating away at it. It's hilarious really to me. Of course it's frusterating and annoying but I can't let that little thing bother me.

I'm sure we all have our version of the urgency potty dance, and if only people saw haha.

Glad to see you have funny moment and can find humor and smiles from it!

My sentiments exactly . Best to find something funny about it than cry, plus crying just makes my nose stuff up .

This gives new meaning to the phrase "laughing my ass off"

edit: wait, what? l m a o is filtered, but the only mildly offensive word it contains isn't? hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I hate to sound like a negative nellie, but when I do my art shows every other weekend, and I get those D type of stuff happening, and I'm in public. and have to use large ziplock bag to go in, in my truck, because bathroom has too many people waiting or it's the type of D that takes time to go and go and go. you know what I mean. that I find no humor what so ever. or gripping crampy pains that make me take 2 oxy's that I don't find humor in. another words I find no humor in this DD. not evan funny weird. I have not benefitted in it at all, it hasn't been a good thing I got this. I'm not crying about it, what it is, is what it is. watching america's funniest video's is funny, watching someone walk off curb and falling is funny(as long as it's not me) disease and sickness isn't funny, in all honesty, it's pathetically sad. JMHO

Aww hugs AG, I think its hard to laugh when you are feeling so rough.

But to Just Another and others: You do have to laugh at some of the crap we go thru. I think my poopy dance would be quite hilarious to others. Don't you just hate it though when doing what you think is the poopy dance and it turns out its only a fart? That drives me batty. LOL

I'm always relieved when that happens, actually. I'd much rather do the dance and pass gas (which is always satisfying) than do the dance and actually poop, which is always painful.
