Embarrassing moments with Crohns - Time for some humor

[fenway1971]

Time to share some funny stories... We all need to laugh.

Ok. We've all had moments throughtout our lives when our disease gets the best of us. But, last night crossed a new frontier.

So, I'm running across the terminal at the airport to catch my connecting flight home. It's late, I'm tired and I've been pooping all day. Get to the gate and flop down in the waiting area. Then, without warning, my stomach gurgles and pffft - out comes a fart. But, I knew it wasn't just a fart.

I groan, grab my bags and dart to the nearest men's room. Race into the stall and find that, yes, indeed, I pooped in my pants. Underwear completely soiled. And worse, it was a day trip, so I have nothing else to wear!

This leaves me with no choice but to abandon my underwear and fly home commando style.

That's not all...

While cleaning myself off, I decide - just in case this might happen again - to pad my bum with toilet paper during the flight home. Well, of course, this meant I had to shuffle to and from plane just to be sure the toilet paper didn't shift around and fall down my leg. It worked, until I was 30 feet from the taxi stand at home.

Yes, a man in a sharply dressed pinstripe suit, walking through baggage claim at the airport with toilet paper falling down his pant leg.

I love this disease.

Yikes! Glad you can see the humor in that one.
I wouldn't travel even a day trip (even a 4 minute trip) without a change of undies!
For some strange reason, that reminded me of the good old days (before my time - don't age me) where women had to wear a plastic belt to hold their maxi-pads in their undies. Really, how long did it take to come up with the adhesive strip?
Anyways - you could've had one of those cute pink plastic belts to hold your toilet paper wad in place. Now THAT would be funny.

My only funny thought lately is that I have been wearing my daughter's old size 3 diapers in my pants like a big pad. They don't fasten around me obviously, they are for toddlers 30 - 40 pounds or so. But in my mind, I think adult diaper - kind of sad. Kid diaper on an adult - kind of funny. It's the only way I can bring myself to put one on.
My daughter is 4 now, and when she caught me with it she said "Oh my gosh, I am NOT gonna tell my friends at preschool!" Which makes me think she is.....

My incidents would be amusing on Family Guy, but since they're to me, it's life-altering trauma.

Well... I've had a good laugh first thing in the morning!
Can't match up to that one... but we do have a bit of a standing joke when me and my wife are packing for a short trip!
"Pants for Friday, Saturday... and a spare pair in case I sh*t myself!"

my stoma is called fred (long story) and me and my son were in the supermarket queue when "fred" decided to make a loud noise, my son said "mum freds noisy today isnt he?" i said yes he is. the little old lady behind us said " its lovely when the children have invisable freind" i was left standing there praying my son wouldnt tell the old lady who fred was.

another incedent was, i was in the loo when the doorbell went, my son answered the door to a tradesman, who ask if your mum or dad in? my son said " mums in the loo with fred and dads dead" the tradesman had gone by the time i gor out of the loo. regards sharon x
