My first time
This week I was traveling for work like I usually do. Planes, trains and automobiles have been the story of my life for over three decades.
This week I was in Nashville TN. A town full of young, beautiful, vibrant people ready to take on the world and full of dreams and aspirations. Felt good to be among such happy crowd.
Then at a group dinner I had to go to the bathroom (too much perrier trying to keep up with the drinking crowd). So there I am, standing in front of the urinal hoping urine retention does not happen tonight. Luckily the stream was soft but steady (phew!).
And then it happened! For the first time both my legs started trembling and gave up. I had to hold on to whatever I could grab. I did not know if I had to crawl out of the bathroom. How will I zip up if I let go off the stall wall? Do I just sit? Am I done peeing? What is happening?? MS had not gone through my mind while I was deep in conversation at the table eating my kale salad without dressing and no salt. It was just another day “at the office” how do I get myself out of this?
People start knocking on the door. I guess hoarding the bathroom at a restaurant from the 1800’s is not the cool thing to do as facilities are quite scarce in those old buildings.
My legs came back. What a relief. I am still recovering from the shock.
I slow walk back to the table (yes I washed my hands) and the group was already planning their next spot… walking distance. I got an uber back to the hotel with a lame excuse I had an early flight ✈️
Now I am thinking, will it happen again? Where? When?
What do you all do when your limbs suddenly give up on you???

Bet that was a scary experience. I never had that tho my limbs are already shit so if I stand to piss I gotta hold the wall like a drunk teenager but normally I just sit down as it might be awkward being a man pissing sitting down but hey just making my life liveable so don’t care what others wanna think. Also I usta listen to a podcast with Kevin smith and a former writer from the tonight show that studies far to much shit and one of the things was it’s actually better for men to sit down I piss bc the way our intestines flow they bend to better position to flow better when sitting lol so in the end might suck but is better for even healthy people to do and gives a better reason Yhen just my damn ms don’t like it 😂
@royt well on that note I may start sitting down on the airplane potty 🚽 specially during turbulence 🌬️
