Life lesson: An employer NEVER needs the details, it's none of their business. You just say:"I'm not well enough to come in today".

>And if they ask for details, always lead with diarrhea runny and made a mess in the bathroom but I feel too sick to clean it up right now. They won't ask for details again.
