Too much information

Warning! This entry may provide too much personal information.

Around 3:00pm today I had a sudden urge from within my intestines. I rushed to the mens room to evacuate the urge. This is where the too much information comes in.

I returned to my office and everything was fine, for about five minutes. Then the urge returned. This time I had even less time to make the journey to the bathroom. Luckily I, again, made it in time.

Clearly I was not well. And these are not the type of symptoms you want when facing a 30-minute commute. Once I felt like I had a half-hour window of safety, I hit the road. It was a nervous drive, but I made it with no problem.



Girlfriend Melissa worked tonight so I was looking forward to a night of solo drinking. I'm not sure what I have - a cold or flu. Which one of those are you supposed to drink with?



So instead of drinking, I spent the night researching my illness on webmd.com. It turns out that I have Tyrosinemia. Symptoms include diarrhea, fever and desire to leave work early.
