My dilation tonight was so painful that I had to stop after 20 minutes. Which is really bad because you need to do 30 minutes per session to keep things from closing up and losing depth. But I just couldn’t take it anymore, and decided I’d do an extra session tomorrow to make up the time.

Of course once I’m all cleaned up, I suddenly feel the urge to poop — and out comes the ginormous mother of all poops with everything from the past week and then some.*

Come on body, get it together! Poop, then dilate. 🙄

At least tomorrow’s dilation (and hopefully future dilations) should be a lot easier.

*You’re strongly encourage not to poop during the week you’re in the hospital because with the vaginal packing inside you, that would make pooping… unpleasant, and actually requires a nurse’s supervision to make you it doesn’t cause problems.
