"Bob, my organization is not feeling well. The developers keep preventing people from pasting into fields."

"Sounds like bureaucratic constipation."

"What shall I do?"

"Have you tried FedExLax???"

Narrator: I'll take it from here. :derpface: If your company suffers from bureaucratic constipation, FedExLax can offer relief. That's right. Just one tablet of FedExLax will flush out those employees that are the cause of your bureaucratic constipation. (FedExLax, by the makers of Fartulent.)

**Martin Luther And The Reformation**

Whilst reading a book concerned with the field of psychoanalysis, I came across a fact that I did not know. Martin Luther, the German theologian who launched the Reformation in the 16th century, suffered from chronic constipation. It is said that he received inspiration for the ideas that launched the Reformation whilst being in the 'sewer'.

#FolkMedicine #ElderlyDiet

We're finding #Kale (as we use it; lots and with the stalks chopped up and steamed too) more effective than other steamed #LeafyGreens in keeping away from #Constipation.

This is not a RCT, nor direct comparison of fresh or dried types of leafy greens by weight or volume.

Added benefit: We claim, on the basis of "It feels good to say it", that leafy greens are improving complexions. 😃

"Have you see... AAAAAAAAAAH!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"What are you doing with your pants down?"

"I'm trying to insert an analgesic."

"Since when are they delivered as suppositories?"

"Since forever. It says right in the name."

"That's not what it means."

"What about those people who take analgesics to deal with constipation?"

"No one, in the entire history of humanity, has ever done that."

"I have."

"Did it work?"

"Well, no, but... oh..."

#Constipation often gets the sufferer told to drink more water.

Constipation is more common AIUI in the inactive and the elderly.

And another thing common AIUI in the elderly is #Hyponatremia - low sodium levels in the blood.
Symptoms read similar AIUI to #Dementia.

Balance issues, lethargy, confusion, short term memory deficits, irritability, etc. Disabling stuff.

Some hyponatremia is AIUI caused by drinking too much water.

Now to see what reduced H2O does here.

Is This a Thing Now?

I wonder… did I learn something new about me and my post-gastric bypass digestive system? I went on vacation for a week and my daily routine and diet both went straight down the crapper. I turned everything upside down for seven days. Then I came home and turned it all upside down again in an attempt to get back to normal.

The result? Cramping, discomfort, being unable to eat much, being unable to… ya know… do that thing that normal humans do after they eat… wink wink nudge nudge, you know what I mean? More than that, when my stomach is empty it hurts. Not eating as much as I usually do (what little I can usually eat thanks to my rewired innards) means my stomach is empty sooner and more often and I can’t tell if the pain I am feeling is because there is something wrong or I am just hungry again. I seriously can’t tell.

I think I went through something similar the last time we went away for a full week’s vacation, and I think it’s happened once since then when I was for some reason living off protein supplements instead of actual meals for a few days (why was that? I don’t remember). So I ask myself, is this a thing now? Am I learning something new about my newly rewired body? Maybe. If so I will just need to be ready for it when it happens. Consistency is kind of the key to my mental health these days and if I see this coming when I mess up my diet for an extended period then I will be better able to deal with it. Knowledge is power and stuff.

Today has been tough. It’s about 3:30pm right now and my guts have been quietly pissed off at me all day. They are rebelling, but only a little and pretty subtly. Mild pain, more like discomfort. Stuff like that. I am going to hit my daily protein goal (80 grams) with ease (I’m at 69 right now, wink wink nudge nudge say no more!). My water goal is probably also going to be hit easily (64 ounces per day) though I am way behind my usual pace at the moment. I’m at 40 right now while usually by this time of day I am somewhere in the mid-50’s. I’ll catch up. I’ve also had some persistent back pain the last few days. I suspect it is a kidney stone in the making, thought it might just be the result of the massive amount of exercise I got in Florida followed immediately by a couple of rounds of shoveling once we got home. Who knows. I have been taking Tylenol for it, which helps, but I wonder if that is affecting my stomach as well? Again, who knows.

I had 50 something years to figure out how my body worked and then three years ago I went under the knife and nuked the entire thing. Now I just have to relearn everything. I figured I would be a pro at this new life by now, but every so often post-surgical reality throws me a curve ball. It can be a pain in the ass, but I also have to admit that it’s all still a little exciting. I think I might just be a serious weirdo. Who knows.

PS: In case anyone thinks that this is me complaining about my new reality, it is not. It’s just me talking to the void and writing it down so that some hypothetical future me might accidently stumble across it someday in some hypothetical future and say, “oh yeah, I remember feeling like that.” I would go through the Gastric Bypass Surgery again in a heartbeat with absolutely zero hesitation. It was totally worth it. Totally.
