Today’s ordeal. At first, I strained, attempting to expel the hardened stool. I then took a seat and waited for the softer excrement to emerge. Finally releasing, I thought it was all over, but no. After 5 minutes, I was caught off guard, and the urge to defecate took over. I had no time to reach a proper location and ended up soiling the floor in the middle of the room. Ah, what relief. Now, the daunting task of cleaning up the mess with my own two hands awaits me.
