Oh boy, do I have some poop stories about taking care of mom. I feel you, lady! Lately life is poop centric around here, mostly regarding our rescue dog, Ginger, but also our own poops. We're about to round the corner to our 60s, so I don't expect that to stop anytime soon!

Ah yes, the older we get, the more poop awareness there is. Also, the pee dilemma. Men may get enlarged prostates and deal with weak streams or middle of the night peeing, but as far as I know they can sneeze, jump, run and laugh hysterically without fear of literally peeing themselves. #Kegels #Abwork

Having just pulled a stuck poop out of Brewskie’s butt this week, this essay hits home on multiple levels. Personally I totally agree with the idea that people should have bathrooms without carpet. They should also have easy to find plungers and air fresheners at minimum. Love reading your essays, not just this one about poop.
