Have You Ever Taken Care of a Sick Person?

Alice Henry @IreneVincent (15960) • United States 26 Jul 17

What can make that home-bound person feel special? One thing is to have a bell near the bedside, for them to ring if they need something. This is especially important for a sick child. Make a lap tray out of a strong box, by...

Unexpected Staycation

ElusiveButterfly @ElusiveButterfly (45941) • United States 23 Mar 16

Well, I didn't expect to stay home for two days after having this dang blasted tooth extracted. The oral surgeon wrote a note stating to excuse me for 3 days following the surgery. Now I can understand 1 day, but 3, no. When I...

Sick days...

Lore2009 @Lore2009 (7378) • United States 14 Jun 12

When you are sick, do you rest yourself or do you still keep up with your daily tasks? If I am ill or sick, I have to lay down and rest the whole day. But I know a few people who will still be out and about even if they're sick! I...

I am feeling a little down today because my oldest is staying home from school again. She missed classes yesterday and when she woke up this morning, she was no better. I hate letting her miss school especially when Easter break...

GoGirl149 @GoGirl149 (152) • Canada 20 Oct 09

I recently posted a discussion asking fellow MyLotters if they would go to work if they were sick with a cold or flu. Most people said they would stay home to rest even if it meant not being payed. Some people mentioned that...

Do you force yourself to go to work when you're sick?

themdno @themdno (402) • United States 12 Aug 09

So, my dad always taught me to just deal with being sick, and always go to work, no matter how bad you feel. But, some tell me that it's not right to do that, as it gets your coworkers sick as well. So, my question is, is it...

Sick days.

coffeeshot @coffeeshot (3783) • Australia 28 Jun 08

How often do you 'pull a sickie?' (That's Australian for calling in sick to work even if you're not really sick). Do you feel guilty when you do this? Have you ever been fired for calling in sick too many times? I know there...

kitchenwitchoftupper @kitchenwitchoftupper (2290) • United States 25 Feb 07

It's not often that I sit and write such little "it doesn't really matter in the whole scheme of life" questions but I just feel like lightening things up a bit on my end to wind up the weekend. Some days you have to call off...

Calling in Sick to Work

gemini52981 @gemini52981 (158) • Canada 15 Feb 07

Do you call in sick to work a lot when you are depressed? Sometimes when my alarm goes off, and I am so down, I just cannot get out of bed, then I call in sick to work. Sometimes I make up excuses to why I can't come in. Like this...

Apparently, the first Monday in February is considered the day of the year when the most people miss work. This is due to a lot of factors, including bad weather, post-Christmas blues and there being such a long wait for the...

Going to Work when Sick

ThatJerseyGirl @ThatJerseyGirl (29) • United States 9 Dec 06

I've gotten bronchitis twice this year as a result of people coming into work when sick, and hacking their heads off! My company doesn't expect us to take sick days. Wouldn't we all be better off if we were allowed to work from...

Do you call in sick to work when you are not sick?

fotychic @fotychic (318) • United States 1 Dec 06

I think I would if I could. It would be nice to just take a 'mental health' day once in a while! What excuses have you used, and what did you do on your day off?
