My husband had just gotten home from work. Maybe I just have food poisoning and am gonna have diarrhea, I thought. When I went, it felt like some liquid came out. So I laid down on the couch until the cramps grew so strong that I surely thought I just needed to go to the bathroom. I just wanted to be in the fetal position. I ditched the coffee enema idea, perplexed as to what was going on, and decided to make some soup. I tried to use the restroom, thinking that going might help, but my body just tensed up again. I hadn’t even released any liquid and my body went in immediate rejection mode. Almost immediately upon inserting the tip, I clenched up & felt pain. In the past, it wasn’t a problem for me to hold in the fluid for 20+ minutes. So at 4 pm I’m all prepped for the enema. Even though I knew I probably just needed to take a day off and lay off the caffeine and computer work, I did it anyway. Even though I knew coffee enemas are not to be done past 3 pm. Even though I knew coffee enemas are not to be done in times of stress. So I thought to myself, maybe this will help relieve the pressure-y knots and cramps. For me, coffee enemas had served as a wonderful source of release and energy renewal in the past. I knew I had meetings all day and wouldn’t be able to tend to my health until the afternoon, so I decided to do a coffee enema after work. I wondered if I was just going to start mine early or something. I had cramps similar to a period but emanating much deeper inside of me. My gut was in a knot and I was low energy. Not surprisingly, the next day I woke up feeling unrested and unwell. I remember kinda feeling like a badass… to be working so hard and relentlessly. When I returned home, I made an 8 pm pour over coffee to fuel me through some logistical computer work - something that seemed like a great idea at the time. The day before I had driven to and from Atlanta in the trafficky rain for work. when I found myself with deep tummy cramps. You know when you are keeping everything together on the outside, but just below the surface you can tell something is off? We are wise to listen to that, but sometimes we need tough lessons, like the one I was granted one evening last December.
