These past few days, my street has been very busy with people coming over. This is because one of the elderly ladies who live opposite my house is constipated and has not moved her bowels for two weeks.
It's awful. Not because she could not shit, has not shit for two weeks but that the neighbours see it fit to let everyone and his dog know about it. I think that when we are old and helpless, dignity flies out the window when things like these should only be shared by the person herself with others whom she wants to share with and not with "strangers" from the street head and street tail.
Sure, we could have been neighbours for years already but this is a personal issue and there is no need to let us know, right? It is not as if we could help her or anything since this is best handled and unclogged by her doctor.
