I had that tube inserted to my abdomen and flushed water through but the
tube came out. I plan on getting it again when I go get my bladder surgery
again. I have to get this flap taken care of first then that. My
bowel program takes forever without it.

I'm with you on this part..."This is
probably the single most frustrating and uncomfortable aspect of life in a
chair, " I use a quart or two of water in a fountain about
every 4 or 5 days. I xfr to the jon, insert tube, fill the attached
legbag and hang it on a hook. Works in about 5 minutes and is complete
in about 20. I've had a problem with this (dismounting b/4 all water
was expelled) only about twice in the past 8 years. Everything used to
go by gravity alone before that but I never knew when the urge would
hit. I attempted to go every morning but still sometimes got caught
off guard out somewhere where you never know what accommodations you'll have
to deal with - and I work better at this nekked in my own pottyroom on my
own time.

Hello and welcome!
If, as you say "she's tearing me up" then that could be part of
the problem. Perhaps the stool isn't coming down because you have
bleeding tissue inside your rectum. For me the less stim the better,
but I'm also able to bear down by breathing hard too.
This is probably the single most frustrating and uncomfortable aspect
of life in a chair, at least it is for me.

O.K. Guys,
This is my first real post. My bowel
program used to take about an hour with dig-stim every 5 min. I've
since then had to change attendants and sometimes now it lasts
up to three hours now! My procedure is as follows:
(Metamucil every morning/night, stool
softner morning/night, 4 senekot evening before program
1. Magic Bullet in bed and stretch/wait
10 min.2. Hot Water to
drink
3. transfer to shower chair over
commode
4. attendant dig-stim. every 5 min till
done (sometimes 3 hours)
5. Few accidents, but she's rippin me
up!
What can I do to speed up process?
Changes I can make? Things to try? Any suggestions would help
tremendously....
