Pillow talk

Last night, after saying our goodnights and sweet nothings, Joe put on his CPAP mask and started to fall asleep.

I, on the other hand, couldn't stop thinking about random stuff. 

One thing led to another and then I asked this question aloud before I was even really aware of it.

"Do people in comas poop?"



P.S.  For the record, Joe says yes because bodily functions still happen even if you're in a coma.  I get that, but after the first few residual poops, how is there anything left to poop out?  I mean, aren't you pretty much just taking in saline solution with vitamins via an IV when you're in a coma?  If so, wouldn't that NOT produce waste?  Or do they put in a feeding tube?  If so, why? I mean, wouldn't that make everyone's life harder?  But if it's just IVs, does your pooper/intestines wither away without use? 

P.P.S. You're welcome.
