CW: PH; post-colon-surgery; bodily functions
It’s ask fedi time again! This one goes out to all the #disabled folks that lost parts of their small or large intestine (and now have a shorter colon for it) for whatever reason.
Mine was from #Chrons and a number of sections that had to be removed for other related reasons. I lost about half a foot in total (16ish cm) scattered across various areas mainly in my small colon but also in at least two places in the large one.
If you have similar experiences and are willing to share, indulge me - did the frequency of “I need to use the bathroom for number 2” ever go down to more normal intervals for you? (Or maybe it was never an issue to begin with?). I’m just curious as my own situation is still changing slowly but noticeably and it’s “only” been about two months since I had these surgeries.
(DM is completely acceptable as a reply, I won’t share anything with anyone I’m just looking for people that when through similar experiences but are further along their recovery. Also happy to share my experiences ofc)

The graph at 2:30 is alarming. I tried to find the source document on the Chron's and Colitis Foundation website, but was unable.
Here's a related article on pediatric IBD in Canada showing the same uptick -

CW: Needles
[pt] enchi um ano e pouco de seringas com restos de linha de bordado! Ainda bem que eu nunca tive medo de agulhas 💉 :needle:
[en] I filled almost a year worth of syringes with scraps of embroidery thread. Good thing I was never afraid of needles. 💉 :needle:
