Lower abdominal distress on the opening night of a touring Broadway show...stuck in the pit while it was in its onset...doubling on tuba and baritone...everytime I bent over to change instruments extreme pain and "close calls"...
...at intermission I got a pill from one of the singers/actresses in the show...took the pill...2nd half STILL had the problem AND was getting sleepy...IT WAS A D*MN ANTIHISTAMINE!!!!...still did a good job playing the show in spite of all...rough night.
