It just hit me that a lot of my childhood ambition of being a stay-at-home mother must have been predicated on an awareness that my ridiculous number of interlocked medical conditions would make traditional work complicated.

Props to my doctors, though. 2 doctors gave me 2 letters in hand within 10 minutes of my phone calls. Now I just need to stop feeling profoundly humiliated by having to discuss the entire topic with my bosses.

I have to pee an alarming amount of time and I hate it. I have peed in every gross public bathroom within 10 miles of my house. I have to do "one more for the road" pee breaks before I go home. I haaaaate it, so it's extra weird to have to justify why I do it. Not for fun.

When Mom lost her ability to pee and had to switch to a catheter it was scary, but we both were like "but it is nice / must be nice to not have to take pee breaks during the grocery shopping".

Anyway, I'm grateful for the letters and I shouldn't complain but my god I am so ashamed that I just want the earth to open and swallow me whole. I feel so humiliated.

I have to turn these notes in to my boss today and I'm having a panic attack because this is so scary and humiliating.

As someone who also needs to go like...all the time, before I leave anywhere, and also as someone who leaves a huge chunk of time between when I drink something and when I go to a thing where there isn’t easy bathroom access, I totally get this. Hugs.
