Kathleen, Thank you so much for your advice. When I arrived to work this morning (D-day), I warned my manager that I most likely would be needing to run to the restroom at some point. This is an important thing to mention: I am a massage therapist, and it's not like a massage therapist can just leave the treatment room casually any time they feel like it. Sure enough, at 4pm, the stuff hit full force. Thankfully, I managed to make it through my client's treatment in the nick of time. I don't know if I'm alone in this, but it not only gave me terribe diarrhea but vomiting as well. Needless to say, I was miserable and promptly sent home. Unfortunately, it took me three attempts to get out the door of the spa before I got a long enough break in the "activity" caused by the half-lytely to manage to make it to the car. Guess "I told you so" dosen't begin to sum up what I wanted to say to my employers, but I've survived. Now it's time for the drinking part of the program, so I must go. Thank you for your support, it made me feel strong enough to face my job and get through the workday. You've been a serious blessing!
