1999: Woke mum at 5.45 to tell her I had done a poo and lots more followed – everywhere. She had to ring Nan and ask her to have me for the day. Nan came round and we waved mum off from the lounge window and I blew her a huge kiss. Had a bit of a problem today – every time I blew off I kept on pooing myself. Mum came home at 4.45 and after Nan had gone I told her my bum was “hot” and then I went off to do another burning poo! We had meatballs with gravy and mash (I did the mashing) it was nice – especially mums. It always seems to taste better off of her plate. I had a bath, and after 5 minutes I braved actually sitting down in the water, but it was a bit sore.
2019: Monday morning and back to work. Burning poo? Like vindaloo. And fancy feeding me meatballs and gravy!!! TBH I’d still eat it now. Just food. Any food. Some days I just crave food and others I don’t want to eat a thing
