Recovery Update: We Have Poop

I have officially reached the stage of surgery recovery where I am publicly celebrating a bowel movement.

After taking stool softeners all week and adding Miralax this morning, it finally happened.

There was, however, some engineering involved.

I didn’t want to strain and hurt my stomach, so I needed something to elevate my feet.

Enter: my niece’s potty chair.

Was this its intended purpose?

Absolutely not.

Did it work?

Absolutely.

Recovery is glamorous. 🤣
