THIS is my emergency contact
He has his good traits, but this was not a good look for him.
TMI back story: a couple times a year, I have to go to the bathroom urgently, I will then feel nauseated and feel like I am going to black out and have to lie down on the floor. Sometimes it gets infinitely "worse."
It is very traumatic, but apart from it being embarrassing, I will be fine. Up until now this has only ever happened at home.
Yesterday at work I felt like I had an untrustworthy fart coming on, so I went to the restroom and ended up having to poop. It suddenly turned from normal to diarrhea and that familiar panic of needing to lie down before I fell over.
I did my best to stop the poop, was even able to manage a couple quick wipes and made my way over to a very uncomfortable lounge chair.
I did my best to get my head low and pull my legs up onto the chair with me so they wouldn't be lower than my heart. Eventually I had enough strength to send a short text my husband to come get me. This was 3:45 pm.
He replied at 3:46 ok and give him a few minutes before he left. (Sure, take your time?)
Then at 3:57 he called and started asking me questions, but I could only give one word answers. He told me to call someone to come find me in the bathroom - as if I wanted anyone to see me like that, much less at work! I agreed just to stop talking and continued to wait for his arrival.
Long story short, we have life360 on our phones so after I was home and feeling better, I looked to see how long it took him to leave. He didn't leave until 4:02 and I noticed he also drove over to the mail boxes to check the mail before heading out!
His nonexistent "sense of urgency" and needing to rescue his life partner from a very uncomfortable situation was staggering.
