Now we know why doctors get paid good money to put up with our
“c_ _p.” It is not enough!

It does surprise me that so many of us have to joke about our BM’s. I guess despite our educations we are still a little anal-retentive.

Hmmm, indeed. Perhaps we need definitions for, say, Type 2.5? I admit that I made no attempt at all to determine exactly how the NHS developed this chart, and I am interested to discover that it is apparently not comprehensive. You’d think they’d have been pretty thorough . . . this sort of scale isn’t devised in a day, you know! In the USA, a hefty grant would probably have been an essential component.

I’m one of those people whose focus is often on my mother’s bowel movements, since she takes heavy duty iron supplements, so this is great for me…except, oddly, the standard character of my mother’s movements doesn’t seem to be represented! Hmmm…

That’s really funny, Mona! I don’t think I’d dare put it on my fridge, though. I’m such a type A that I might use it as a goal-setter . . . and the less said about that, the better!

Marty,

You’ve got some great content on Gearability now – I’m really impressed. And this post, well, I’m speechless. I will print this out to post on our fridge as an appetite supressant!!!!
