WHY , OH WHY WE NEED SO MUCH NERVES IN OUR BUTTS ?????????????????????????????????????????????????
We gotta know when we gotta go!!

ha ha ha haaaa, but THAT many ??? The nerves that give us that "urge" info are not in the opening per se, but further up. And - the part that feels like burning and tearing is in the part of sphincter that is under our control (outer muscle). Spasms are in the inner muscle - painful yes, but not to the point of passing out like when poop tears that fissure on the verge of coming out - oh my, Kimmy, you were so lucky in that respect that you never had THOSE pains. Your fissure was probably higher up in the colon - lucky ducky ; ))) ! I am giving birth to a pineapple 3-4 times a day PLUS spasming after that for hours. Oh well - as I said - 2 more daaaaaaaaysssssss : )))) !!!!
XOXO

Pineapples have gotta hurt! Yes, I have heard so many horrible metaphors for the pain. And to think how miserable *I* was for seven months!
But soon your fissure(s) will heal, so very very soon! No more pine cones, just smooth bananas for 2008!!!

hahhhahhaaa, thanks Kim XOXOO !!!!! Can't wait for that : )))) !!!!!
