Let’s Talk Poo 14 (Day 7, Infusion 6)

More than half way through our 10 day process and I’m happy to report that it’s still been relatively uneventful.  Ashley held yesterday’s infusion a full 24 hours to the minute.  She continues to feel happy and motivated.

Lee was able to produce enough donation today for the standard 2 infusions of paint consistency.  Ashley infused at about 12:30pm today.  The first hour was rough.  She reported a lot of “air” being infused today.  She wasn’t sure what she’d done differently, but it caused a lot of discomfort in her lower bowels.  She opted to take some GasX and then to continue to lie down for a while.  After about an hour, things had settled and she was good to go.

She managed to hold today’s infusion until 6:30pm.
