Visit To Restaurant Today

[statesboro]

I went to a restaurant today wearing a white sweatshirt with something about IC on it. In fact, I even had the symptoms put on it. (and designed for me) Anyhow, a few people have read it by now. The hostess immediately asked where the shirt came from. That was answered. Yep! She didn't even have time to read it all first. I was asking why she was asking me. I was saying I do want people to read it. Regardless, she said she has been diagnosed with it. Wow! What a surprise! Ok. I did get her name and age.(19) Ok. I do know she goes to the local technical college now. She said the medication had made her too nauseated; therefore, she had stopped it.(most likely Elmiron) Ok. I was saying there are other treatments as well. She said she has no insurance and had not been to any doctor lately. Geez! I did go up and sit at the bar.(only me) Oh, yeah! I did ask if she had ever been on here.(and not aware of the website) (and told her that she ought to) What do I know? I was gonna see if I could get an e-mail address, but I do beleive she had knocked off by then.(past normal lunch hours) Yep! I went to bathroom and never saw her again. She may be on duty the next time that I go back for all I know. She probably works a few hours here and a few hours there. Ok. She was not told I was gonna mention that on here. It will be ok. I will see if I run into her ever again.

You might want to print out the diet information in case she's there next time you go there. That would be very helpful for her --- and it has the internet site info on the cover.
