...Is a bowel blow out in public
So.. I deal with bladder incontinence on a fairly regular basis. On a (Thank God!) much lesser basis, say 4 times a year or so (if that) I have episodes of bowel incontinnence where my rectum is full of fecal matter and I don't have time to get to the restroom, and by delaying going, I pretty much ensure it ends up in my pants. I have seen the doctor about that issue, and it seems as if it arises when I'm really constipated. So.. I have a nice pizza dinner out side with my mom and dad, and then I decide to go on a bike ride. On the way to the halfway point I planned, I get the urge to poop. I think, oh no big deal, I can hold it until I get back. But then as I reach the halfway point i discover that riding my bike tends to want to aggravate the muscles holding in the...shall we say.. waste.. and my intestines are full of gas. And then I start to feel fecal mater worki its way into my rectum. At this pont I know, I'm pretty much beyond the point of no return. Whether it happens here or just as I'm walking into my hose, it makes no diference. I'm not going to make it to the bathroom. So, I figured I would let it go so my intestines were comfortable and Id clean up and change as soon as I get home. Only problem is.. it was more liquid than solid.. and I'm at least a mile from my house. If I get on the bike, I worry that the diaper may not contain the load. So, I walk the bike. Then at one point im like.. I'm tired of walking the bike lets just get on ride, and hope for the best. BIG MISTAKE.. Fecal matter ended up all over my right leg.. but thankfully none got on the floor of my parents house.. just on my socks and shoes and the inside of my pant leg. It was mortifying, but thankfully my parents didn't know until I told them I had to clean up.. and I told them I had to rinse my pants out. I just said, you don't want to know why my pants had to be rinsed out.
Note to self..be sure to evacuate bowels before riding bike after dinner, and make sure to wear brief with leak guards, just in case unable to emty bowels before ride.
This happen to anyone else? A blow out in public? Now, the blow out could have been prevented had I not gotten back on my bike.. but I got home an hour after I left. It would have been even longer had I not ridden on teh bike after the bowel release..
Peace out!
