@chile3 As one of the techs told me, the clinic books too many back-to-back appointments in a day, then when one little glitch occurs, the delays just ripple out. My limit for a “holding pattern” is 30 minutes, and that requires a dash from the table to the restroom. So far, I haven’t exceeded the limit, but the day will likely come. I only got booted from the table once, and that was on day 2 when I had too much gas in my rectum.
Also, I stocked up early on both Gas X and Imodium, just in case I needed them. No need for the later yet, but I have been hitting the Gas X this week.
I try to stay focused on the day in front of me, and keep to a regiment of diet, exercise and sleep. Even with that, it’s stressful.
