“suckin’ it up”

This morning I was given both tap water (fairly warm=stimulant) and coffee enemas, all 2 ½ qts.

The first was warm tap water Took half/ came back got the rest of it.

The next enema was warm black coffee which I was able to take at least ¾ of the bag. Came back, took the rest easily.

The final bag was again coffee and this time I was flat on my stomach whereas the others were on my right side and knee-chest position.

With a good bit of Vaseline on my anus, the nozzle was slowly inserted its full length entering my rectum, and the flow started.

The bag was hung high for the last enema. The clamp was opened and I felt the coffee start going in. Laying there I thought the flow had stopped. I asked my friend if there was some type blockage as I couldn’t feel anymore flow. It was less than a minute when she told me “Wow! You sucked that right up! Look, the bag is empty!” It looked like it collapsed in on itself.

The next 15 minutes was easily tolerated while turn on my side, nozzle still inserted, retaining the coffee.

Sometimes things just don’t go the same. Most times I follow a similar routine, as same solution, same temperature, same bag height, same position, and so on. But once in a while the results are different. Just as some days it is difficult or impossible to take the full bag without a struggle, sometimes it all goes in quickly with absolutely no cramps or feeling of fullness. I can’t explain it, it just happens that way sometimes.

For me also, some days I can take 2Q easily and maybe a bit more and some days 2Q is a struggle. I can't figure out why so I just go with the flow.

There are days when my colon isn’t in the mood for an enema. I’ll wait two or three hours and try again. Sometimes it works, sometimes not, if it’s still not in the mood, I put it off a day or two.

My issues typically involve leaking. I don't mind cramps--they are usually gas pockets and the water either works its way around them or pushes them higher and the gas comes out with the final release, but when I have a problem, the leakage is fairly extreme, and holding till I make it to the toilet is tough. If the water's not going in, I hang the bag higher and restrict the flow with hemostats. I find that if I take 8-16 oz. First, empty, and then take the “real enema," I often can get away with little or no leakage. However, some days…

To me, “Suck it up ” has nothing to do with enemas.

When I'm in a skirt, heels, a tight girdle a supportive bra, and my period started a few hours ago. I have to be in “Boss mode” face to face and over one phone and “Mom Mode” over the other phone! THAT is “sucking it up!”

The only place enemas come in: the masochism I developed taking enemas helps me hang tough!
