Hi. Was not sure where to post this but anyway, just wanted to share that I did my very first irrigation this morning. All went smoothly. I know this is going to make my life just that much easier if all goes as planned.
Whoooo hoooo

Hi.
Hi for it girl. Irrigation is the best way to manage poo.
Remember, what's not in . . . can't come out.

Congratulations, Dancing! You will find that it will free you up to live your life! It gets easier with every irrigation. Stand or sit, which products to use! It will take a lot less time as time goes on too! I am down to 10 minutes to put the water in and 20 to let it all out! Not bad! ;Please ask for advice from those that irrigate if you need to! We are all willing to share our funny stories and horror stories! There are both! Lol
