Weeing in the bath.

My house has one toilet and my arse has been stuck to it for most of the afternoon.  My stoma decided to go crazy bonkers and was gushing out like you wouldn't believe. 

In order to stop it from spraying all over the bathroom floor and walls I had to adopt a strange position which angled the stoma output into the toilet bowel. 

Now if you're near your toilet my not have a go at this yourself. Just for fun. 

Sit on the toilet. Bend your waist and put your hands on the floor. Push your bottom back and point your belly towards the toilet pan. Sit like this for an hour. 

Incase your imagination isn't very good you should end up in a position like this. 


Now if you're going to spend any length of time in this position, like I did today, I would highly recommend you get yourself some reading material as staring at the lino gets very boring after a while. 

As I'm sitting 'in the position' Big girl came bursting in saying she was desperate for the loo. Unable to get off for fear of covering myself, the bathroom or a small child in shit I had to utter this awful phrase:

"You'll just have to wee in the bath"

Now Big Fella must have sonic hearing because as soon I said it he suddenly needed a wee too. Funny that. 

So both the kids ended up having to wee in the bath which they both found hilarious. Luckily Hubby was able to exercise a little more bladder control than the kids. 

So there you go. Just another happening in the saga of my life. And don't worry, I've cleaned the bath!

I'm just grateful that no one needed a number 2!

Holiday from hell

My first week in Cornwall was amazing. Me, Hubby and the kids spent the week near Porthleven along with all Hubby’s family in a big house with its own pool and hot tub. The kids had a great time with their cousins, we celebrated Big Girl’s birthday, went to the beach, ate together, played games in the evening and just generally had a wonderful time. It was the holiday I had dared to dream about while I was in hospital amd I couldn’t believe I was well enough to enjoy it. No, I wasn’t able to eat and drink but that was a small price to pay to be making memories with my loved ones. At the end of the week we packed up the car and drove to St Ives where we had booked a fisherman’s cottage one minute from the beach with my parents. My sister and her husband would be staying nearby and Big Girl’s boyfriend and his family were also staying in St Ives at the same time. I’m good friends with his Mum so I was really looking forward to having a great second week with even more of my favourite peo...

Disability benefits cuts

So in Rachel Reeves spring statement earlier this week it was confirmed that there will be massive changes to the benefits system including the way that PIP is assessed and changes to the health element of Universal credit.  As someone who is receipt of both PIP and ESA disability benefits I find this whole situation…  🔲 terrifying  🔲 baffling  🔲 rage inducing  🔲 disgusting  🔲 [all of the above] I honestly cannot believe that a LABOUR government is looking to balance the books of the country by taking money from some of the poorest and most vulnerable in our society. This is the sort of thing I would have expected the Tories to do but when I voted Labour I honestly thought that not only would they look after and protect the neediest but they would actually make things in our society better and fairer. How wrong I was. Looks like I’m going to have to get some ‘Fuck Labour’ merch to go along with my ‘Fuck the Tories’ stuff I already own!  Now I do b...

Dexa Scan

The highlight of my day, possibly my week, was leaving the hospital this morning for an appointment at the Treatment Centre, all of a few hundred metres away! I was diagnosed with endometriosis last year after a scan on my bowels picked up an ovarian cyst. For those who don’t know what endometriosis is it’s where tissue similar to the lining of the womb grows in places it shouldn’t. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/endometriosis/ I didn’t realise I had it because any pain below the waist I always attribute to my bowel problems. The gynaecology consultant said that they would normally carry out a laparoscopy (keyhole surgery) to formally diagnose and see the extent of the endometriosis but because of all my previous bowel surgeries this wasn’t an option. So the decision was made to give me Decaceptyl injections to put me into an early menopause. Doing this stops the womb lining from growing and from contracting when you have a period and therefore helps to reduce the pain. I have the injec...
