"You just wallow in it, don't you?"

That is something my boyfriend's mother said to him when he ripped one. One of the more unfortunate parts of cystic fibrosis is the poor digestion, which leads to really foul smelling gas and poops and poor weight gain. I can remember some of the funniest stories with my man. One time he took a gnarly one at work, and he was in a stall, while a coworker went to use the urinal. The coworker had no idea my boyfriend was the one in the stall, so he left, and later my boyfriend left. My boyfriend came out and was hearing the coworker recounting the story of this mysterious man who was pooping, and the stench was so bad the coworker had to hunch over in the urinal so as to avoid getting a whiff. The sad part is, when he was in elementary school, because he was always pooping, his classmates dubbed him "Poop Man". I know this is a gross post, and not really funny, but it made me laugh. Sometimes I have to find humour in this illness.
