Although it didn't start off that way, today's output was quite significant for a holiday (it's Dragon Boat Festival and according to tradition, one was supposed to throw rice dumplings into the river in memory of Qu Yuan). Alas, I have no rice dumplings today. Will digested (or rather, rejected) ones count?
Not much output today, but at least the flow didn't stop. The morning dump was almost hidden from view and if not for a tiny protruding bit, there would be nothing to show.
Just as anticipated, there was a surprise in store if you had been following recent developments. Instead of diarrhea, this morning's stools were soft but shapely (like short little sausages) and kind of sticky. Will the short sausages become longer tomorrow? It's anybody's guess.
What a big pile! Makes me wonder: have you ever had such a big dump that it takes two flushes to get rid of everything? What do you do while waiting for the cistern to refill?
Did it make any difference? Should I stick to the routine shot? For a clean dump like this, zooming in seems to work pretty well. But if it's a mess, I wonder if a close-up shot will be nauseating.
My regular iPhone camera continued to show signs of problems (magenta discolouration, shutter freeze) so I took a shot of this morning's dump on my old Samsung flip phone. The quality, as you can imagine, wasn't very good. And that applied to the shit as well. But you may notice that the shape is a bit like the intestines (or a happy clown face, with some vivid imagination).
This morning's dump seemed to be a cross between Type 4 and Type 5. It's snake-like, soft, but with fluffy edges. So I'm not really sure how to classify it based on the Bristol Stool Chart.
