Embarrasing Story to shareFrom: Lisa (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon Jul 30 11:02:26 2007
Okay, Since i know this forum will appreciate this story. About three of years ago,after i had finished my degree, I was working at a CPA firm as an accountant and we had a small office. At the time, i was having okay period months and really bad months- so i never knew what to expect. One day at work, i felt cramps coming on and i made it to the bathroom and then the pain came on full force. I was stuck in the bathroom at work! And this was not a relaxed office, it was very formal and stuffy. So here i am, no tampons or pads and stuck in the bathroom, until the office manager came in and i asked her for some help and she brought me tampons and i tried to pull myself together to get out of there but it took a few hours of cramping and bleeding. I emerged, out of the bathroom, covered in sweat and walking almost hunched over until i got to my cubicle and the partners of the firm were standing right there next to my desk- looking at me like some freak show. I muttered that i had to leave, grabbed my purse, left my computer on and scrambled out the door, the pain was unbearable. I was driving home, screaming my head off all of the way home and i truly didnt think i was going to make it. The pain was so bad, i thought i was seeing stars. I made it home, downed about 2400mg of advil and my heating pad and made it through the day, not wanting to live. Then it dawned on me that i had to go back to work the next day and EXPLAIN what the hell was the matter with me. And to a few 50 year old male partners that were not the warm and fuzzy types. That sucked but i just explained that i was having some "female" problems and that i was sorry that i had to leave so unexpectedly. They were okay with it, but a little uncomfortable and they worried that i would have other days that would really interfere with important work. I ended up leaving there shortly after because i kept missing days and i finally just quit. Anyways, getting "stuck" somewhere is terribly frightening and embarrasing and i panic if i have to go anywhere during the time my period comes on. I dont even try to schedule anything on these days now and i just call out of work so that i dont get stuck anywhere again. Not good for the career but it is better than running out of an office like a mad woman. Anyone else have similar story? I got one more if anyone wants to hear it. :) ~Lisa H.
