A word about bowel movements

I have prostate cancer, obviously or I wouldn't be here. But this is about something else that may help some of you.

Many years ago when I was working in Asia I discovered the toilet spray hose, which was a fixture in every bathroom, public and private. A neat, quick and effective way to really clean yourself after a bowel movement. I'm happy to see this device is today fairly common in the West.

As the years passed and I transitioned from middle age to old age to really old age I noticed that bowel movements were becoming more difficult. I suppose the muscles needed were atrophying like all the rest in my body. I'm sure most of you know the feeling, having a full load packed firmly up there that just won't budge. You sit there and squeeze and push and sweat and strain and...nothing. One day I was in that situation, bathed in sweat, red-faced, recalling stories about people having strokes and heart attacks doing exactly what I was doing. And then I glanced at the spray nozzle on the wall and I thought...hmmm? And just on impulse I took the spray, pressed the nozzle firmly right against my butt hole and squirted a good strong stream of water right up there.

Instantly I felt an enormous pressure build up and I knew exactly when to release the spray trigger. I held the water in for a few seconds and then flexed hard, and everything shot out. Like a potato cannon. And it felt great. Thoroughly clean, empty, evacuated. And I have used that method ever since. It has never failed me.

Hope this helps someone.

Cleaning wise, to yourself, after everything is evacuated just a quick rinse with the spray nozzle and wipe yourself with tp, then spray around the bowl, flush and while it's flushing stick the spray head into the flushing water and it's clean. Not rocket science.

No it won't. It goes straight down into the bowel in its usual trajectory, only a lot faster and more forcefully. Try it.

Have you ever heard of hypercalcemia. Might ask doctor it is constipation from bones leaking calcium into bowel. Its treatable
