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.
