Then I got the worst intestinal cramp, like I really needed to use the restroom... I stood to do so and some water ran down my leg. I thought to myself, "Oh great, now I'm WETTING myself, will the indignities never end..." It didn't occur to me to put two and two together until I got to the restroom and there was bit of bloody show and lots and lots of liquid ...
