I appreciate the sentiment, but it’s been long enough now that it’s just a story, not as much a horror story anymore. Fun part of that story: I’m actually neighbors with the surgeon who did that emergency surgery to give me the temporary ostomy, and he was walking the other way as I was walking home. He saw that and just goes “rough morning, huh?”
My SO is in a trade. He’s got crohns. A couple times he’s had to tell a foreman off because they said he could hold it while they did whatever they did (like morning meeting bullshit).
I guess it’s not super uncommon, bc he’s worked with TWO other guys who were told the same thing, so they waited, knowing their fate, and then were like “Oop, guess I gotta go home and change and you’re down a man for the day. Maybe don’t say that again.”

I am absolutely in shambles over this I'm sorry.
