I applaud you for learning Russian! Whew, that sounds tough! 
Thought you might get a kick out of this video.

Shoulder was feeling okay-ish so I hit upper body today minus delts and skipped biceps because they’re massive.
Seated Cable Row: 4 x 10, then 5. Moderate load drop set with a neutral, narrow grip
Straight-Arm Pulldown: 4 x around 1 or 2 reps in reserve (RIR)
Tricep Pulldown: 4 x same as the thing above
Incline DB Bench Press: 4 x 2-3 RIR

Me too! Right when I got to work. Nothing like getting paid to poop!
I get some temporary relief after a chiro visit sometimes, and other times it just moves to the other side or into my shoulder more. I feel like it’s just chronic at this point.
I do all kinds of rehab exercises, foam and lacrosse ball rolling, stretches. I’ve just kind of given up on ever feeling “normal”.

HAHA YES!!! 
We really are connected.
Oh man, this makes me super bummed out. I didn’t know it was that bad. I hate that for you. It can be frustrating to test out so many different potential solutions without getting permanent relief, but I’ll be praying that you do find something that works.

When the thankfulness journaling takes a weird turn…

Always thankful for that! For decades (no joke) I had the opposite problem, but not so much anymore.
I’ll refrain from any more potty-humor word play.

Between dropping the kids off at the pool, getting things down on paper, taking the Browns to the Super Bowl, building a log cabin, dropping it like it’s hot, releasing the Kraken, launching a torpedo, sinking the Bismarck, debulking, filling the peanut butter jar, cooking fudge, hitting paydirt and crafting underwater castles…
…I don’t see how there’s enough time to get any work done.

The above post might seem crude. But it just had to come out eventually.

I’ve never heard of most of these! Thank you for “adding bulk” to my vocabulary.
Fun fact: when I strut around the house with my shirt pulled up to show my belly, it’s a sign to my husband that I just dropped a massive deuce. That’s the best my abs will look that day and the smallest my waistline will be, so why not show it off?
I have also pulled up my shirt in the middle of the gym to send him a secret message about what I just accomplished in the ladies room.
Nope! It’s nature. It’s healthy. Keeping it all in is way worse.
It did… en masse.

I worked in a place with very educated people. Only a handful had key access to the fancy lounge and its washroom. Yet once in a while, the bathroom would be left in a disgusting condition, unflushed, maybe a toilet paper lasagna, maybe unwanted evidence of “making smoothies” on the seat.
It always made me think that there was somebody who lied on their job interview.
INTERVIEWER: So what is your worst quality?
RESPONSE: Well, sometimes I’m a little too meticulous at work…

Oh my goodness that is just rude! Why are people so gross?
Okay this was a good chat but I think I’m done (for realsies this time) with the potty talk for the day.
Fair enough. My lips are sealed.

I did not know women went poop. In fact I am scandalized.

Sometimes they don’t. And when that happens they end up with a chronically distended gut. I have pictures from such a time.

Embarrassing story… about 10 years ago, I thought I had appendicitis (like doubled over in pain - thought I was gonna die…). I drove myself to the ER at 2 am. They did an MRI and uh, yeah… I left at 6 am with orders to go get some Miralax. Talk about expensive shit… lol

That is crazy!! If you ever get into stand-up, you have to turn that story into a bit.
The pain of constipation is no joke though, so I don’t blame you for doing what you did. And the risk of an impacted colon can be deadly even, so it’s good you got it figured out. So scary!
They did an MRI to rule out appendicitis? This would never happen in Canada. It is unusual for this to be a difficult diagnosis. Still, always good to hear about a moving experience.
