Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Just one little 'I'm grateful for'...

I am so greatful for an understanding boss!
I had to ring in sick yesterday, but just left a message and I get a bit (a lot) stressed about phoning in sick 'cause I hate being away a lot. So today I tried to go in, but the pains in my stomach were so bad so I rang in again, but this time spoke to my boss directly.
She was so understanding. She said if I was in a lot of pain, there is no way I should come in and to try and take it easy over the weekend and she hoped I felt better and stuff! She asked me about how my appointment with the dietician went, and about when I could get in to see my GI doc again and just said she was sorry there was nothing I could do to feel better - real sympathy! She also said I should come in on Monday, but I could go home if I couldn't last the day because at least then it's not marked down as a sick day as long as I try to go in.
I felt like a huge weight had been lifted after talking to her and don't feel that usual guilt I feel when I am home from work.
So that is my addition to all the things we are thankful for.
