Wait, you don’t poop during?

I have a pre-existing injury that causes lots of pain in lots of contexts.

I’ve found that, especially recently, using the toilet greatly enhances the pain, sometimes to debilitating levels. Now I have to decide whether to use the toilet then shower, leaving me feeling clean but down for the count; or to use the shower then the toilet, leaving me at lower pain levels but feeling gross all day.

Neither seems like a good option. The best option I’ve found is to use the toilet, clean myself as best I’m able, lay down for a while, then shower; however, it can be hard to fit this in a work day or any day when I have obligations.

Now you know a bit more about me. It’s your fault, you asked.
