For all my fellow heroes survivors and warriors everywhere

[Arpin]

Paid another visit to my overused loo

And I thought of you

I thought of the friend I have

As I escaped with haste the lav

I wondered if you were well

I prayed that today you are not visiting hell

I hoped that at this time

That you are coping ok as I penned this rhyme

That for a while you are free from pain

and you can gain

Time and energy doing what makes you happy

And not with misery contemplating your adult nappy !!!

Positivity dear friends however hard

So difficult but not impossible

Love that Arpin,

Almost 30 years now for me and I just react to whatever happens. I prepare by wearing an adult nappy if I need to go out and always walk with 'My kit' 😂 This is a pair of leggings, wipes, nappy sacks (for the offending items), clean socks as I'm always in trousers and clean knickers..all in a sealed plastic bag. Only good thing is I have a key for disabled toilets, as I'm disabled and have never had to queue for a public loo I can just go there and get in immediately.

Your peom cheered me up. Thanks for that 😍

You are so very welcome It just becomes the norm which is sad Can’t really remember pre IBS but to say it must of been glorious The slightest stress sets me off so at the moment I’m not so good but it won’t win I relax and talk to my tum and strangely it works and I settle Take care and keep up with your acceptance as I believe it totally makes life easier
