the Bristol stool chart!

Everyday living
#1

Afternoon on this bright and warm (ish) day in West Yorkshire!

Anyone recognise the name of my post?

I was given a Bristol Stool Chart, by a nurse from the continence service. On it there are about 6 illustrations of what the best poo should look like.

Well that nurse would`ve been proud of me last night.

I did a perfect one!!! I could`ve photographed it and they could use the picture in their leaflets!

Ok, so why am I getting all excited about something like this?

Because, like so many of us, I struggle to go and also have accidents and it can rule our lives, and make us decide to go out or stay in, near the loo.

I seem to be doing exceptionally well, in that department just now. Famous last words and all that!

I`m having a big bowl of bran flakes, a fresh fig and a banana for brekkie.

Just thought I`d share the info with you all.

and why call it the BRISTOL stool chart?

is it cos they float down the bristol channel?

Chris,she’d had the T shi(r)t made up in Birkenhead market.Appropriate really.

Now now Gillian,you’ll have the Environment Agency after you for spreading rumours. ‘Mersey Gold Fish Chart’, works nicely.

Dunno why they call it that. Perhaps they used Bristol Uni to research the stuff.
