I (26M) have Cystic Fibrosis and had to get a double lung transplant last year. Because of the long recovery and COVID, I haven’t been able to work in a long time. I used to work at a grocery store in and decided to ask for my job back part time. Working there was my only hope because it is flexible and in walking distance. I can’t drive anymore because of seizures. I’ve only had a few though and take meds to control them.
I walked over to the store looking my best and ready to talk to my old manager. Everything felt so surreal and bright. I figured that I was just getting nervous and emotional about being there after so long. Right away near the front of the store I saw an old coworker and she recognized me. She asked me how I’ve been and I tried to answer but my brain started shutting down.
For some reason I touched her chest (wtf is wrong with me) then grabbed her arm and fell backwards. I hit my head on the concrete floor and started seizing really badly. Everyone in the whole store surrounded me (many that I knew) and they called 112. My head was bleeding, I was puking and choking on it and worst of all, lost control of my bladder. I was wearing these tan khaki pants so it was very noticeable. The piss got all the way down into my shoes.
When I finally came to, the paramedics were cutting off my shirt in the middle of this store. My chest is extremely fucked up with scars and I have a J-tube. Everyone looked at me like an alien. I was so embarrassed and trying hard not to breakdown. They were trying to ask me questions but I pretty much played dead until I got in the ambulance. There went my one potential job. I’ll never go back there again.
I’m alright now just feeling defeated and mortified. The only thing helping me has been reading other posts like mine knowing I’m not the only one. That’s why I decided to share this.
TLDR: Had a seizure and pissed myself in front of my old coworkers when I went to ask for my job back and now I’m going to be unemployed forever.
