(WARNING. For all those with weak stomachs. Beware.)
To poop or not to poop?... that is the question. (or is it?)
.
Well folks, the topic you have all been waiting for. Poop. Feces. Ca-ca. CACA. "the runs". Diarrhea. Whatever you call it in your homes, we've got it. This bodily function (or should i say excretion) has become the center of many conversations here in India. As horrible and disguising as it sounds it is actually very important to keep those around you informed as to how your body is functioning, should we say, outside of the states (for lack of a better term).
Things I wish I would have known before coming to Inida: That poop only comes in two forms here: explosive diarrhea or unsatisfying constipated turd. If i could put into words, the pain we go through daily bouncing back and forth between relaxation and the constant need to run to the bathroom, I would. But what can you do. Through these traumatic experiences we have all come to know each other, i am sure, more than we ever thought and or wanted to know about each other.
Needless to say, we are a longing for the day when we reach the states and we can experience once again a normal bathroom experience, where we leave satisfied, and not feeling like there is something stilll stuck in our intestines or that we will only be back in the same position in less than thirty mins.
To all of those who were scarred by this post, I am sorry from the bottom (no pun intended) of my little heart. But this is our reality. And im very glad you all are just reading about this (or at least hopefully) and not experiencing.
To all of those bathrooms and or squat-a-potties out there. Thank you. For putting with our "stuff".
(Let's be real. (as if I havent already been real enough.) I have been debating whether or not to post this certain blog.... and well if you are reading this I guess I decided to... but let me know what you think? slash if i should delete? this blog blog is one big, poopy mess. thanks for putting up with it. k bye)
(slash Allie and I might have almost died (of laughter) SEVERAL times during the creation of the worlds greatest blog post....)

AMEN sista! one big poopy mess
ReplyDeleteIt's so weird that you ask that question, Pam, on behalf of yourself and your fellow travellers on the road to heaven; poop is second only to pu...wait...maybe it would be overly...uh...poop is one thing, but... the other...well, I guess what I'm trying to say is this: I bet every saint whose virtues ran in the service arena would be able to swap endless stories based on poop with us. In fact, I bet poop is the number one topic....I mean, you are the ones steeped in the roiling streets of human...ity. What say you? ;-)
ReplyDeleteLoved it--glad you were brave enough to post! Blessings on your journey!
