Shelly, I know your frustration and I hate shower day with a passion but what can we do. I started drinking a cup of green tea I buy at safeway called of all names smooth move but it works. I try to drink it at least 6-8 hours prior to my bowel program so if I'm showering in the morning I drink it before I go to sleep. Keeping the same time of your program is very important too so try to do it on a strict schedule. Hope that helps,

It is after 12 midnight and I am considering sleeping on the potty chair. At 8 I inserted a suppository. An hour and and half later I decided to call it quits, nothin happening. It's 9:30 and am making my way to bed. THEN I needed to get back on and did not make it. What a mess. When will this get better? I am so tired of this that I am seriously considering limiting my food intake. Starting tomorrow. Taking a shower and dressing took me 2 hours and I have spent over 3 hours doing my bowel program. It has been a year since my accident. Shouldn't I have this figured out by now? I am so frustrated and angry. Sick and tired of crying to.
