    I *should* have taken the bike path today...

    the one with all the creepy dark corners... because, ahem, I don't know if it was that dubious potato salad from last Thursday (I didn't realize 'til afterwad that it had been away from the fridge for 8 hours... only room temp, not hot, but not my policy!)... but I had sudden needs for dark corners.
    In sympathy with those of you with bowel issues... I'd prefer vicarious sympathy, THANK YOU VERY MUCH... this too shall pass... no, it's been doing that...

    Poor thing!
    Drinks lots of water (with electrolytes if possible), and eat some high soluble fiber food (definitely not bran though!).

    Ah, the stories I could tell about ostomy bags and bandages coming undone in the most inconvenient times and places (like Central Station in DC with no separate handicap washroom; or at Dillon Beach, CA where the toilet shacks have no doors; or up on the side of Snota mountain, Norway, with only boulders for shelter). Very tough at the momement, emotionally to the point of physically. But now I can look back with pride on having dealt with it. And now so can you. Good to hear you're over the worst.
    Half-marathon over. Sabbatical year over. It's back to "sacking shirt and oat cakes" as they say here.

    Ooooooo, yeah. I've been hit with the GOTTA GO RIGHT NOW's in places where it wasn't that convenient.

    Being a card carrying member of the CCFA (crohn's & colitis foundation of america) I have this card that says "I Can't Wait" on it and explains that I have a condition that requires immediate access to bathrooms. I haven't had to use it yet. Usually the look on my face is enough to convince them to let me in

    Hope you're feeling better.
