so, i have just been through the most degrading experience of my life.
as i've posted on here many times, i get sick to my stomach pretty often. not just a little queasiness... we're talking cramping bowels, sweating, having to hold onto the wall because the room starts to go white. imagine having food poisoning about 4x/week, that what it feels like for me. so my doctor wants me to go to a specialist, but first they have to test my poo for all sorts of stuff to get an idea of what's going on. so, i've been putting off doing this whole collection thing, because 1. it's gross and 2. i haven't been sick to my stomach for the last week or so.
well, today 5 minutes after lunch, i got violently ill. i rushed home (30 minutes) in the nick of time, grabbed all the damn supplies, and did my business. and now i can say, with all certainty, that one of the most degrading things you can do... is scoop through a huge bucket of your sick poo, and spoon it with a teeny plastic spoon into 4 different vials... and then have to drive to a lab and hand them to someone. like, "hi, here's my feces. enjoy."
i want to barf.
