Well, enemas aren't so bad after all!!

Go on, top that for a thread title

DD2 had her phosphate enema yesterday. Have never changed so many nappies in such a short time!!!

Over the weekend I have to "investigate" whether it has all gone or they'll do it again on Tuesday.

hope it worked

the enema or my "investigations"?

Brilliant title melted. Do you have problems describing 'poo' and their symptoms to drs? Sometimes i want to say it just as i do to DH - graphically. Then dignity gets the better of me and i try to use reasonable language. Its a bit like the word "investigate" !

There's a picture they use .... will try to find it online for you...

Found it! Bristol stool scale

ime doctors don't seem to have a problem with graphic descriptions!

Had to laugh - i used the word porridgy to the dietician yesterday, 'fluffy' isn't a word i would use (on the bristol stool scale) - nice things are fluffy. I'm going to have to let the dr know which 'items' come out whole this afternoon - including the things that shouldn't really have gone 'in' in the first place. to make matters worse, this is my NT DS !!

Gawd, what are you expecting!!?

ahh ds2 is a 1 or 2 on a good day!
Now would I look sad or nuts just well informed if i quote the Bristol stool scale to the GP.
Glad shes had a good empty out, hope she keeps it up, er, I mean out , er you know

It started after "investigation" a while back. Food items are easy to spot - and recognise, but then i found an alien item. It can be really weird things, using his mouth to open a packet of crisps he ate the corner (hopefully by mistake). It came out whole, with the writing still legible! We've had bits of toys and very frequently the rubber end of pencils. we're trying to encourage him to chew, so he finds these things before swallowing them.

Are you investigating the contents of the nappy? Why are you doing this?

i have to "delve in", as it were... it doesn't come out on its own!

2 of my DSs saved me the bother of describing today by both having accidents whilst being examined! You can't beat actual evidence.
