Oye vey - sorry to hear that. I am not aware of any leave protection you have in a company with 2 people

Do you guys have any sort of handbook or policy written for time off/medical stuff?

There isn't anything; I mean, the office in that sense is run a bit free and loose. We don't have any regulations or guidelines to handle this kind of small business; at least none that I've seen. It's not like there is HR or anything like that I can go to; that's why I'm so nervous.

Amanda, sweetie just wondering if you are feeling any better. Were you able to find the Mag citrate? If you can't find it you could also try Fleets soda. You can get it over the counter and you only have to take 1.5 oz. You can get it in a lemon lime flavor. Not great but tolerable. It's what the doctor ordered me to take before I had a colonoscopy. It worked well in about 2-3 hours time.

Let us know how you are doing.

Just be careful of that if you have kidney issues.. I think they are talking about taking this off the market even for people who dont, because it is causing them??? Not 100% positive.. but, I know I had acolonoscopy a couple weeks ago, and he said I couldnt do the fleets soda because of my kidneys.. altho.. it worked REALLY well on my gramma when she had hers!

I just saw one of those ambulance chaser commercials for a lawsuit against Fleet soda saying it could have caused kidney damage in people that took it prior to getting a colonoscopy. Take the source into consideration however.

How are you feeling Amanda?! Give me a call about the HR stuff, k?

aesidwell · 02-07-2007, 09:14 AM

Still feeling like poop, to be honest

I was able to go once yesterday, but I don't feel any kind of relief. I'm just exhausted, bloated, headachy, and a bit leery of taking yet more stuff to make me go because nothing seems to be getting rid of this feeling. I'm scared of screwing up my system. I hate this!! I don't want to be a complaining, whiny, GB patient AT ALL, and that's what I feel like I am. Am I nuts? Am I so anxious about going that I can't? Dear lord, I'm turning into a neurotic over poop!!

Whit - will give you a call about the HR stuff tonight; I'd really like to hear your thoughts and advice. I feel like I'm stuck in between a rock and a hard place having to choose between health and work.
