  • 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. 🤣
