These days I'm wearing a pull up diaper on the way to work and I change to regular underwear there. This morning, I was on the way and right when I got to work in the parking spot, I felt the urge to go. Oh no! shocked

I have now a shower card so I can go in the diaper then take a shower, but I didn't feel like going through all this trouble....grrr.. I looked around in the car and I noticed 2 groceries bags in plastic. I also carry toilet paper with me. So, I pushed the driver seat all the way to the front, went in the back, dropped my pants, and shaaat right in the bags. Perfect hit. I wiped and stored the goods in the trunk. (I'll mail them express to bananagirl later today)

My car has tinted windows, so I doubt someone saw anything.

I hate my life. I'm going to throw myself of a bridge now...well, after...after...

As God is my witness, I will never complain about left sided colitis again.

lololololol...trust me you will also. Sooner or later, you'll get owned. hahaha

That sucks. You need baby wipes - the make the whole clean up much easier.

Ohhh yeah, baby wipes. Great idea, I'm going to get those. My stool has some form, it's not diareha, so it falls in the bags no problem, there is no spray or anything.

My point is that left sided colitis is nowhere close to what you're experiencing. Just sayin' I'm sorry, Bro. Sucks.

If you're a Costco member, I highly recommend the Kirkland brand of baby wipes. We tried several different brands when our son was an infant and liked them the best by far. The seem to pick up and hold the poop in rather than just smearing it around.

And Lower Left, UC is a strange disease in that the extent of the disease doesn't always equate with the severity of symptoms and/or how hard it is to control. Suebear and Christine both had colectomies, and both "just" had proctitis.

Lol yeah! I didn't want to burst lowerleft's bubble. He is on 40mg prednisone right now. After the tapering, no one knows what will happen. I started with left side...it went panco...now I think with all the crap I'm doing, it's back to left side.

I loved his first reply in this thread, it was great!

dude I do it all the fricken time! Do you ever thing that 5asa do it to us? I do notice a difference when I'm on them and when I'm off. yeah they help with the bleeding but they make my urgency worse like if I feel the movement I have about 10 second to be in a bathrom or it over and done with. But your only on Remicade right? Dang well my statment doesn't hold true then.

Well anyways I feel for you, I do it too. I like reading your posts because you describe what happens to me and how my life is.

We just have to laugh at it now. No bridge jumping you too funny for that.

I'm honestly not convinced it always matters all *that* much how much of your colon is affected. Sure, I was diagnosed with pancolitis, but I'd also been flaring for about 2-3 months by the time I had a c-scope. So maybe if I'd had one a month into the flare, they'd have found "just" left-sided UC.
Posted 1/22/2013 6:26 PM (GMT 0)
Been there, done that too many times. It's good you can laugh about it.

In the seven years with UC I have never had symptoms as severe as what I've read on this site. The fact that I feel fortunate is wrong?

Thanks for the replies.

We use the PC brand of wipes. Get the ones which are alcohol free.
Posted 1/22/2013 7:00 PM (GMT 0)
I personally don't think it's wrong to feel fortunate. I've still only had the one flare and am using only mesalamine drugs to control my UC. I think it really stinks that some people struggle so much, but there's nothing I can do to change it.
Posted 1/22/2013 7:10 PM (GMT 0)
I too feel fortunate. I was diagnosed left sided. At diagnosis I was going 20+ times a day but never had an accident when away from home. I feel blessed now that I only have proctitis and am having no symptoms. But believe me I know it can change at any moment.
Posted 1/22/2013 7:12 PM (GMT 0)
There will be no bridge jumping......unless I push you off myself smilewinkgrin
Posted 1/22/2013 7:20 PM (GMT 0)
lol lowerleft, it's my fault. For some reason, I don't know why, I thought you were just diagnosed with UC. I guess your join date threw ne off. My bad.

I'm keeping shat bags in my car from now on. The downside? No tinted windows. skull

 I don't know why, but I'm taking this as a compliment. haha

lollol

I like how you joke about this Somedude. Wish I could do that. Keep fighting the good fight. Everything is temporary.
Posted 1/23/2013 1:10 AM (GMT 0)
well, some things....until you die :-/
Posted 1/23/2013 1:43 AM (GMT 0)
Maybe you need to get a bigger car, like a van, that way you can get in the back and do your business without moving the seat, haha.

I am sorry that you had to deal with this today but you always manage to give me a chuckle. How could you store the goodies in the trunk? Wasn't it smelly when you returned? I think I would have ditched them in a garbage pail.

They should make in built toilets in cars, or at least have a hole + a bucket underneath the driver's seat. Would cater for us IBDers and the lazy.
