Needing jokes/comments to make when I am audibly shitting myself. Any suggestions?

In a few months I’ll be in diapers, but I’ve been told that modern adult diapers are pretty good at their job/probably will muffle it more.

Diverticulitis that I ignored (didn’t have health insurance) until I had an abscess rupture.

Fortunately it’s not a permanent situation. Should be able to get a reversal in a few months (although I’ll probably wait until December so that I won’t need to wear diapers at work.)

    I had almost exactly the same thing. Had a reversal almost 16 years ago.

    Just know at the beginning it will be hard, but you will figure it out and it will get easier. You will be surprised at how understanding most people are.

    My advice to you is to sleep with a towel under you!

    Non-permanent is definitely fortunate, although it sucks that you got to where you are now.

    On the upside, for the next few months, you'll have a great time at theme parks, concerts etc. No need to queue for bathrooms.

    Enjoy your temporary butthole I guess? :D
