My anorectal nurse practitioner recommended a “fiber supplement.” Apparently, this means a psyllium husk situation. I glanced at the bag at cvs; I thought I saw the dose was one tablespoon.

It wasn’t one tablespoon. It was one teaspoon. When I first took a sip of it, I was like, this is weird, also gelatinous. At that point I checked the bag and saw how I had messed up the dose. I could have dumped it out and started fresh. I could have drank some of it and saved the rest for later.

I chose neither of these reasonable options. I drank the whole fucking thing. I know I didn’t want to waste it cause I got the extra bougie psyllium fiber recommended as the “best” on one of the sheets I got. Are there other reasons? I feel unsure. I also feel unsure about how my pooping situation will go tomorrow. Like, without a psyllium husk supplement, I pooped four or five times today. Why? No idea, I don’t drink coffee anymore (sob), I did eat impossible meat chili yesterday, but it was only made with one can of beans (mistake). I don’t think I probably drank enough water, and I never do, EVER.

Maybe you are wondering, why’d you go to an anorectal nurse practitioner in the first place? Just due to fucking anal fissures, also hemeroids. But that had all healed up mostly by the time I got to the anorectal nurse practitioner. I had used nitroglycerin, which I thought was an explosive, on my butt. It healed my butt but induced headaches that were horrific. When the tube of nitroglycerin ran out, I was pretty pumped to be done with it.

My stomach is already noisy from the psyllium overdose. I have a haircut tomorrow and I hope my mistake, that I doubled down on, doesn’t cause massive toilet time at the salon. I probably won’t report back.
