Crohn's Chronicles: A blog about Crohn's Disease

Every two weeks I take my Humira shot. No big deal. But, a couple days afterward the most wonderful thing happens. I poo. I mean, I take a dump . It's awesome. The thing is, I crap constantly. All the freaking time. Just not like this. This is one of those rare, deeply satisfying, glorious dumps. And I get to look forward to it every two weeks. It's a major source of joy in my life. And what's my immediate reaction every two weeks? What is the first thing I want to do as I saunter triumphantly from the bathroom? I want to tell people. I actively seek out someone to inform of the magnificent crap I just took. I'm genuinely disappointed if no one's around. My poor roommates.

I'm stepping away from the prompts today to share this video with you all. It was posted on Jezebel  yesterday afternoon. I was not particularly amused. Here it is: **Warning: it does contain language that's a little more coarse than what I normally use on this blog. So... probably NSFW. Just a heads up.** Yep. That just happened. Now, I understand that this young man is joking. I get it. He thinks he's being hilarious. But... the truth is that this is pretty insulting. Both as a woman and as a person with Crohn's. Seriously? Are we that uncomfortable with lady defecation that you have to set standards for how they (we) should act before, during and afterwards? Ridiculous.
