Dear Diary...... ** **//__ September 28th 1999 __ Well this month is coming to an end quite quickly. Where does the time go? I had a great day at work today. Although I have heard rumors that the head chef is thinking of retirement by the end of the year. That is going to be a depressing day. Sean has been the head chef there for 35yrs. Personally being the sous chef there has been great and I have no complaints I love my job. I would give anything to be offered his job. A couple of girls at work keep telling me to fill out the application. That really boosts up my confidence. I think I am going to fill one out first thing tomorrow morning. I had these really uncomfortable pains in my stomach today, not the best feeling in the world. The time of the month must be coming up....yuck.... Well I'll write again later. //**

** __//December 30th 1999//__ ** **//I cannot believe it, I am now the head chef at " The Perfect Palace" .This is the best day of my life!!! It almost makes me forget about all these pains I have been having in my stomach. I have been to see my doctor and I am getting sent for a few tests. I am not going to worry about that right now though because I am too excited about my new job. This new year is going to be the start of my dream job, that I have had since I was a little girl and I got my first easy bake oven. //**

**// These past couple of months have been hell. The pains in my stomach are not easing up at all. And to top it off today was the most embarassing day that I have ever had in my entire life. I was at work and the day was going by like any other. I was in the freezer grabbing some salmon on then on my way back to my station. That is when my stomach began to turn and I needed to use the bathroom right at that moment. And needless to say I did not make it to the bathroom and I was in a kitchen full of people. All I could do was hang my head in shame and that is when the tears came so I asked the owner if I could go home for the rest of the day. After that I went to my doctor to get my test results and they all came back normal. He has come to the conclusion that I have something called "IBS" which is "irritable bowel syndrome". It is also known as a "Functional gastrointestinal disorder". He said this is a very common syndrome and there is no known cure at this time. //**

**// __August 14th 2006__ //** //**Well alot has changed since the last time I wrote in this book. For starters I left my job at the resturant and have pretty much become a hermit. I am terrified to even go out my front door because I just don't know if or when I'll have another accident. I am having trouble coping with this problem. **// //**It has been almost 10 years now since the day I was diagnosed with irritiable bowel syndrome. I now have more control over my symptoms. Talking to all my doctors and changing my diet has improved my way of living dramtically. I now have a new way of looking at life and don't allow IBS to control my life.**//
