Now that the postal strike is over, I finally sent out my shit through the mail. Oh, the indignity. Possibly the worst part is the envelope isn't a peel-and-stick but a lickem-stickem. Whose idea was that? Gross. #CancerScreening #ColonCancerScreening #FIT #Poop
The TMI: why don't they make the shit-stick textured? Seriously. I was half retching while I in-and-outed that stick over and over again into my freshly-laid turd. I could not get the poo to hang on. I felt like some sort of poop fetishist. I'd be lying if I said my shit don't stink. It surely does. Gave me flashbacks to my diaper-changing babysitting years. And then I was doing the gross-out stompy dance while trying to put the shit stick into the sample container without getting poo everywhere. I'm quasi-traumatized.
@Shanmonster honestly, yes. Anytime I do a faecal calprotectin or other stool sample test, I have to force myself not to barf.
@Shanmonster I don't know why I felt impelled to do this... Hope it gives you a smile after all your trials 😊
@MichaelPorter you forgot the "lick that shit-filled envelope closed" step.
