Okay… stupid question.. can people die from not pooping? Last year I was in serious pain… so much so that I couldn’t move. My dad thought my appendix had exploded or something. I had an ambulance take me to the hospital. They gave me something for the pain. While I was there they had to give me an IV? Bc I was so dehydrated! I was so loopy at the time, and started flirting with the nurse. They took some sort of scan of my body… afterwards I was told to wait for my results… when my nurse came back she looked me dead serious in the eyes and said “Your full of crap!” Suddenly I burst into laughter (bc I was still loopy) it was funny at the time until… I looked at my mothers face. She was concerned and so was the nurse. I have always had issues using the bathroom… I just didn’t think it was that bad. Apparently I hadn’t gone to the bathroom for so long… now my muscles in that area don’t work?
