oops

I promised a story so here is a funny one, (Although a bit gross too) just brush that off and laugh.
So the nurses told me a story of this poor girl who needed to go to the bathroom, so she grabbed her IV pole and pulled it in. Well, at the door there's a bump you have to pull the pole over. So she pulled and somehow the pole tilted enough that it fell over she tried to pick it up but being so weak from chemo and being sick she couldn't and in her panic she lost control over her bowels and bladder and lost everything onto the floor.
Now, any normal person would've stood there or walked slowly to the call button but this girl decided to run to the toilet just in case she could save some dignity and make some of it in the right place.  She slipped, that's right slipped and fell in her own mess. Luckily, she could reach the cord to call the nurse for help.
Now, as you might have guessed, that girl, was sadly, me and as I showered off the mess and embarrassment I actually laughed.
I think we have moments like that to remind us to laugh, even if we're sick and can't get off the floor by ourselves, laugh. It's healing.

"Humor reduces stress, fear, intimidation, embarrassment, and anger.  Laughter also has extraordinary healing power. When a person laughs, blood pressure decreases, heart rate and respiration increase, the body releases endorphins, and depression declines. After the laughter subsides and you relax again, that good feeling has a lasting effect, even until the next day. Not many medicines will do that."
