Not a good start to my day

[Archives1]

I had just gotten in the shower when I felt an urge to have a bowel movement. I crawled out and tried to get up on the toilet (slipping in water in a panic) and didn’t fully make it. I had to clean up and throw away my favorite shorts and a shirt. It took twice as long to shower because I just felt defeated. And I’ve been dealing with bursitis in my knees making getting around extremely painful. I’m so over this.

I am very sorry that your day began so badly. I can appreciate your being so over this. I hope you will feel proud of yourself for cleaning up after yourself, and not giving up in defeat. I hope you will take very good care of yourself today and be compassionate towards yourself.

@justej What a bummer. I’m sorry you experienced this. And yes, what a shitty start to a day (no pun intended).

Hi @justej, I'm sorry to hear about that and we all have those moments when we feel like that cat just up above!!!!
I really sympathize with that feeling especially when you have to navigate in such a way you don't slip in water. Slipping in water in the bathroom is something I'm always leery of.
I hope the rest of your day turned out to be much better!!!
I think we all should be glad we're not that escaped convict in the cartoon here!

Thanks everyone. My day did get better. I was able to put on my prosthetic leg and sit outside for awhile and my friend brought me a burrito and coffee ️! My prosthesis feels pretty good and I’m going to try to wear it to my orthopedic doctor tomorrow. Hopefully he can give my knees some relief.

I do so admire your tenacity ej. When you want to just say f it and lay down and bawl you just get on with doing what has to be done. I don't know how you muster the great attitude to keep from going under.

I kind of figured things would get better for you today! I think we all have to just keep on keepin' on and ej really gets it along with the best of 'em!!!! And I think in a couple of days we'll feel some of that chilly weather down here in Florida.

We're getting a "heat wave" here in Albuquerque. 70s! and nights perfect in the 40s.

That sounds nice @ritanofsinger! Down here in Florida it's a hard, driving rain and in the upper 60s but it's a chilly upper 60s. So Alburquerque sounds nice right about now!

I was hoping that your day would get better, ej, and I'm so glad to know that it did! Wishing you a good vivit today with your orthopedist!
