After the operation, I began going to the bathroom more often.
My colon is physically shorter now.
It is only natural.
Does that mean I have less freedom?
It could be seen that way.
But I do not see it that way.
Perhaps I simply choose not to.
That is fine with me.
It feels no different from wearing a white T-shirt and being a little more careful while eating.
Nothing more.
Being mindful is not the same as being restricted.
At least, that is how it feels to me.
