When I'm sick, I don't want anyone near me. My mom and my brother are the same way. Dad however wants to be waited on, and if I'm sick he's very overbearing and won't leave me alone until I'm pretty much near the point of yelling to get the hell away from me. Even when I had surgery on my legs (separate, of course), dad wouldn't leave me alone. He even put our dog Sam on the fold-out-couch-bed, and Sam was very excited, pounced and landed on the spot where the main incision was. Even though he's a dachshund, pain, I tell you, pain...
And I said to dad, "Get him out of here. Get him out of here. Both of you get the hell out."
As for work, it usually depends on how lousy I feel. If it's just a head cold and tolerable, I go. If I'm hacking a lung up, then I stay home.
writer's block,
sick day
