So I have some great friends who just want me to take care of myself and get better. Here is a gift from one of those friends today…..I must say it’s the first time I ever received a deluxe enema system as a gift. She’s so sweet and even brought it incognito so the neighbors wouldn’t see what she was bringing up the steps……ha, if only she knew it would make the photo of the day. For those of you who have never seen an enema system….here you go:
I don’t curse a lot but I do use the word “douche bag” probably 5 times a day (sorry Mom)…..so it’s a fitting gift. We talked about enemas and bowel movements and healing for about an hour. Did you know there are wheatgrass enemas? and coffee enemas? or chamomile tea enemas? Well now you do! If you watch Kourtney and Kim Take New York….you’d know that there are also olive oil enemas. Reality TV is educational. The quote of the day is “you can use it for your coochie too if you want.” Love you M!
Another friend said that I should send the deluxe combination system to my artist friend Steph to “doodle” decorate it first. Doodle the doodie bag was how she put it. Maybe she’ll do a doodle doodie bag tutorial. I did some doodling today…..I might still be high off Sharpie fumes.
I have cancer…..and I’m not ashamed of my doodie bag.
I love that you are handling this with such grace and a damn good sense of humor. You could always paint it yellow and write Choose Joy on it.
Best wishes!
I really needed that laugh, you crack me up :0 Still praying for you funny girl.
I like that it comes with a lifetime warranty. Built to last!
shut the front door, you’re a riot! wonderful friends you have.
Ok, THIS is too funny! I’m laughing out loud right now! Hubby is looking at me like im crazy!
Oh my gosh! Okay, so I’ve been reading your blog for awhile now, but never commented. So proud that my first comment falls on a post about a doodie bag! Ashley, you are such an inspiration! So glad that you are keeping it real. Humor really makes life so much better, and I’m loving yours! Thank you for sharing your life-doodie bags and all! I can see another t-shirt idea emerging: doodie bags and donuts! Lots of love and hugs from Texas! ♥
Funny….the LIFETIME WARRANTY on the box!
Hands down, the best nickname EVER!!!!!
My favorite (seriously) are milk and molasses enemas. The nurses at the hospital introduced me to them. But you’ll never think of molasses cookies the same…
The Doodle Doodie Bag will help you Choose Joy for sure
I just recently read about the wheat grass enema. I have no idea why the Kardashian’s would be talking about them though…crazier things.
That auction is kicking butt, wonder how much a doodled doodie bag would have wiped up, lol.
You go girl! Doodle the doodie! You crack me up!
I’m with Sarah……….milk and molasses works like a charm!!!!!!! Love everything about this post!!!! Laughing still!!!!! HUGS to you!! And Lisa!!!
That’s stinking hilarious! Thx for the laugh and for keepin it real
Is your friend full of crap?
Oh, there are too many potential fun phrases that involve poop. You have some caring friends, that’s for sure. I may just text everyone I know asking for a doodie bag… and whoever brings one will win a true friend brownie. Oh, crap… brown-…err… nevermind.
Oh the stories I could tell you of my Mom during her battle with vaginal and uteran cancer. TMI to the max my dear friend. Even the janitor was called in to take a look wayyyyyy down thereeeee!
Seeing this picture brings a sort of horrific realization from my past… there was a contraption that looked hauntingly like that in my grandparents shower that I used to play with when I took a bath… Oh, the horror!!! At least you know what it’s for!! Ha! Prayers as ever!
I’m sure your grandparents wouldn’t have let you play with a “doodie bag” ha ha, it was probably a hot water bottle, they look just like that (minus the top part)!
I stumbled across your blog through Pinterest. I have only read two posts and I’ve already cried and LMAO. You are an amazing woman. Thanks for having the courage to share your story.
You are HILARIOUS!! I run to my computer every morning to check out your blog, always anxious to see how you’re doing in your battle against cancer (and YOU ARE A WARRIOR!), check out a new project, the photo of the day and all the fun things you post. You are a beautiful, talented, funny, truly incredible lady and God is using you in ways you can’t even imagine! I pray He gives you and your family everything you need to get through each day and that you’ll feel His presence when you least expect it. Thank you for being so transparent. To see you “Choosing Joy” in the face of adversity and allowing so many to be a part of this “season” in your life is a blessing to all of us.
Perfectly said!!
You are an amazingly funny woman! Here’s hoping it gets the job done! Love the lifetime warranty…
Freaking hysterical! Douche bag, classic. Praying everyday for you Ashley!
hahaha! I woke up because little man had an accident, what do I do at 3 am? Read about doodie bags.
Night! Sweet dreams!
Just woke up. Eyes still half shut, but laughing out loud! Great way to start the day! Hope you have a happy, blessed day!
BEST POST EVER. Douche bag is a favorite term of mine too. This post definitely made my morning! I hope you have a fantastic day full of peaceful pooping. LOL
This has to be the BEST Funniest Post ive ever read!!
Douch bad gets used in this house more often than not.
Best Post Ever, made me laugh so early in the mornning!
Thank you!
<3
You make me laugh all the time!! I love your sense of humor!
Yes and the coffee ones are great!! Its better to stick up your arss then drink it! Need to check out http://www.hacres.com and start juicing!! Heres to healing naturally!!
I choked on my coffee!!!!!! Thank you for that good laugh. I love how you are maintaining a sense of humor
Say it loud and proud! You are not ashamed of your doodie bag!!! I love it!!!!
I just learned about Coffee enemas on Sunday. My Aunt whom found out she had Cancer at the same time you did and went to Loma Linda around the same time you were blogging about it! My Aunt stopped by on her way back home and she was telling us all about how Cancer LOVES Fatty, salty, & Sugary foods. My Aunt opted to NOT do standard Chemo. She is doing the Gerson Therapy and WOW! Is all I can say! It’s amazing what our bodies can do. But she went on to say that she has to do a Coffee Enema EVERYDAY. Yikes, was my 1st thought, but I bet it helps. Cancer really screws people up & who knew that cancer would mess with ones bowels.
so wonderfully put……you really are quite special…..
Choose Joy! Eat a doughnut and then make use of the Doodie Bag! And, if the Doodie Bag doesn’t work, you can always make use of the “Lifetime Warranty!” LOL. THAT cracks me up!
“Hi, I’m here to return this Doodie Bag. I’m having some poopin’ problems lately, and the Doodie Bag isn’t quite working to the desired effectiveness I was hoping for, so I’d like to return it.” hahaha!
Ashley, I love how you share the “real” things that cancer brings to your life, and I love how you are making the best out of an icky situation. I’m a RN and you are SOOO inspirational to me!
Everyone would want a SC doodled doodie bag! Like someone before me said – I wonder what a doodled doodie bag would have gone for on the auction? The advert at the top of your website is advertising bowel cancer courtesy of the UK National Health Service (NHS)… “blood in your poo” was the very first thing that I saw just now on your website…nice.
I wish everyone had a pinch of your sense of humour about everything – big and small. Life would be so much more cheerful for all of us. Sending lots of smiles and sunshiny happyness your way.
Ashley, I love your sense of humour. You are the inspiration that keeps me going! I hope you understand the impact you are having on so many of us!
Hugs, Linda
Thank you for making me smile!
Wheatgrass enemas are a miracle!!!!
Um, this post is completely and utterly AWESOME. Thank you for exposing the nitty gritty, the down and dirty (no pun intended) of your life. You are a brave lady!
Prayers for strength and courage and a big dose of laughter is the best medicine
May you be 90 years old when that thing breaks, so you can get your money back
What do you do with a doodled doodie bag ? (that’s kinda catchy)
Now you’re making me look at the people I call “douchbag” much differently. Like, with doodles on their foreheads. Or carrying their own doodled doodie bag. Yep, THERE’s some stinkin’ thinkin’ going on right now
my fingers on my right hand are sorta cramped up because i’ve been scrolling though your blog for HOURS!
what a powerful story you have, what a powerful testimony & story of hope & joy…wow. gorgeous you girl!
& the enema kit..what a riot!!
i’ll be back to read more
praying your body is kicking some cancer today!!!
Mom was 17 yr survivor of breast cancer’then contracted totally unrelatd multiple myeloma. she joked that she didn’t know ine had to sign up for two diff. kinds and also did not want to have cancer be her identifier. It was something she battled it was not her.
BRAVO, je pense à toi.. Tu es forte tu va gagner.
