Everyone poops, Yes EVERYONE!! Whether you want to admit it or not sometime in the last day or 2 you have probably pooped or at least in the last week I hope.
Although with this being said I am amazed by the wide variety of patients I see. First you have those patients that want to tell you everything about their daily bowel movements, I mean everything from color, to amount, to exactly what time it happened, and then on the opposite side of the spectrum you have those patients that can't remember when the last time they pooped was. Was it yesterday, 2 days ago, 3 weeks ago, who knows??!! You would be amazed by the amount of patients I see come in with abdominal pain just full of poop. It happens all the time, and let me tell you it's always hard to tell someone that there is nothing really wrong with them they just need a laxative and they need to poop!! :) They must have forgot its a part of life and sometimes we need a little help pooping.
Anyways, that's not really the reason for my post but it is a good topic of conversation :) Especially among nurses at dinner time!
Whenever you buy an acreage it is Iowa's law that the septic tank be checked and up to code. We knew this going into the agreement that the previous owners would take care of the septic and boy am I glad!! It has turned in to quite the project!! First off yesterday when they started to dig the big hole for the new septic tank they clipped an outside water line...Yikes!! I think they got that fixed. Now they've got this large hole dug in our backyard with the new septic tank in just not hooked up. So what does that mean?? Well I'm told by the guy doing it to try to keep going to the bathroom to a minimum......he doesn't mind water in the hole just not "floaters" hahaha so I guess we can't poop and that was yesterday, and no return today! So I guess everyone poops.....Except us.
Well hope that gives everyone reading a good laugh for the day :) Pray we can poop soon!!
Here are a couple of pictures of the massive hole in our backyard and our new septic tank:
