The way you have it set up is also the way that most hackers do and phishing attempts are done. People will create a duplicate profile of someone else and then try to get their friends to join the “new” profile to harvest information.

They do have my phone number which is pretty private and secure information. I've been having a discussion with Brendan Eich (invented JavaScript and CEO of the Brave Browser) over this along with trying to figure out how to improve privacy with some level of anonymity. I don't know whether or not Brendan has any influence at Facebook though. Mike Schroepfer is the CTO of Facebook and he was VP Engineering at Mozilla before that and Brendan Eich was the Chief Engineer at Mozilla at the time. Schroepfer offered me a job at Mozilla about six months before he left for Facebook.
At any rate, I've never had the problem with the identity stuff at other sites before.

Brave is the main browser I use. It's great for elimination of adware and spyware/tracking - especially with the advent of TOR/VPN in private tabs.
I don't FB. So I don't know.
Tell the folks over at Mozilla to fix the function of the mozrepl module for perl scripting interfacing within the browser. I use it for multiple backend network tasks and the most recent updates of mozilla killed its function. Hah. Perhaps its time to use SSH to query the devices.
On the immodium front. It does work quite well. It tends to make me feel extreme bloat though. So I used it as little as possible. Also when it wore off I seemed to have the opposite results with more loose movements. I presumed this was the body attempting to compensate.
Oh the visual of running down the street in diapers is quite funny. I'm sure you'd get some looks and laughs
Glad to hear you're making some real progress.

The main risk, I think, would be the possibility of an incisional hernia at the incision site where the resected hemi-colon was removed. Depending on how the surgery was done, this could take a long time to heal thoroughly. If the surgeon had to make the cut "across the grain" of the abdominal muscles in order to get the resected colon out then the recovery time could be a lot longer than if the cut were made "along the grain" of the muscle. (That's what my surgeon told me.)
There are some athletic-minded members here who did not wait long enough before resuming intense athletics, and they ended up having hernia operations.

I posted this before on another thread, but I'll post it again here, just in case:

I have a recollection that even some people with laparoscopic surgery have managed to get hernias.
