Closing in on constipation?

Following yesterday's limited output, this morning's dump led me to think that constipation is close at hand. But the subsequent delivery an hour later proved otherwise.

Limited output

For once, I was able to deliver on a Sunday without rush, but the volume of output was a bit disappointing.

Earlier than usual delivery

Had to attend an event this morning so tried to force the issue before breakfast and this was the result. Not a bad combination of normal stools with fluffy pieces towards the end.

Leftover or a new beginning?

From this little bit, it was "hard" to tell.

Unfinished business

With yesterday's rushed delivery, I foresaw that there will be more shit today and my gut feel (if you pardon the expression) was correct. The result: two dumps in a short span of 15 minutes.

This was the first:


And this was the second:


Which is more impressive?

Rushed shit

This morning's dump was delivered in a hurry. As you can imagine, the output wasn't spectacular. Initially, I thought there would be unfinished business, but the digestive system held firm.

Not very clear

You probably can't tell it from the photo, but there were fluffy little pieces of shit that had sunk to the bottom of the toilet bowl.

It's been a while...

... since I last had two dumps in a day within the span of an hour. Must have been the accumulated shit arriving late. No wonder, the first dump was pretty hard stuff:


But the subsequent delivery was much softer:

Accumulated shit

Another Saturday went by without a dump. That's the third consecutive non-delivery Saturday. Still, the accumulated shit this morning didn't amount to much.

Different feces, different fates

How do you deal with pre-existing residues? Continue your delivery? Or flush away the debris first? The toilet papers were already there when I took these two dumps. The first delivery went under and was partially concealed, but the piece of shit in the second dump landed on the side of the toilet bowl and clung on with its stickiness.

Not as bad as I thought

No diarrhea today. On the contrary, the stools were noticeably harder. So much for past performances as an indication of future results.

Going soft

The stools were gradually heading down the slippery road of softness. Could this be an indication of more things to come (e.g. diarrhea)?

Curly wurly

This morning's dump looked a bit like oversized maggots. Not pretty.

A beautiful dump

Shaped like the Chinese word "吉", just in time for the Lunar New Year.

Barely visible

First dump on a Sunday in a long while but there wasn't much to show. Instead, passed gas frequently throughout the day. Silently, of course.

Can you visualise this shit?

This morning's dump. Looked to me like a pair of arms on a monster. What else can you see?

Pretty much back to normal again

After giving it a breather yesterday, normal delivery resumed this morning. Not as much as two days ago, but still quite significant.

Not much left

After the long passage yesterday, this lunch-time dump was what I would consider a short rite.

Very long shit

Seemed like everything that has been trapped inside my system was released in one huge delivery this morning. Incidentally, the shape of this dump looks remarkably like a baseball glove. Or perhaps an Auntie Anne's pretzel?

Coincidence?

You may wonder about the lack of dumps every Sunday. No, it's not a question of faith. (Like Confucius says, "If shit has to happen, let it happen PROPERLY.") Usually, I make it out early on Sundays, so sometimes there isn't ample time to do it properly.

This past weekend, it was due to flu and fever which, had it dragged until tomorrow, would have been the longest spell of non-delivery. As it is, the dump came late in the evening. The little piece of toilet paper was for the running nose.

That's all

I waited until night time for confirmation that this was the only dump of the day.

Can you see it?

No?


Here's a close-up shot. Still can't see it? Never mind.


Quote of the day: If it looks like shit, smells like shit, don't touch it!

Is that all? (Part 3)

Better late than never. But was this dump a bit too much for a night time delivery?

Is that all? (Part 2)

No sooner had I posted the earlier entry that the call of nature beckoned again. This time, it was not pretty.

Is that all?

Considering how much I ate yesterday, the output this morning was rather disappointing. Could I have digested the bulk of the input?

What a waste!

I had a dump this morning but I forgot my camera. It was a huge pile shaped like a question mark. But you wouldn't believe it, would you?

Accumulated shit

This was probably what has been brewing over the past two days. The top part resembles a brain, doesn't it?

Shit, interrupted

The daily show of fresh dumps was almost interrupted for two consecutive days until I forced a toilet break around noon. The outcome was not pretty, but at least it was not a mess.

First dump of 2011

What a contrast compared to the last dump of 2010. And the first Type 2 delivery, however few pieces there were.
