Feeling guilty

I am off sick today. 

I got up yesterday morning and felt a twinge in my back.  It got worse and worse throughout the day.  By the evening I was in agony and could hardly walk.  Today, I am having difficulty standing up straight, and can’t arch my back. 

So why is it then that I feel so terribly guilty about being off work? 

July 4, 2007. Work.

    Oh poor you!
    DO NOT feel guilty about not going in to work. Look at this way: you go to work with a crook back and really put it out, leading to maybe weeks of sick leave (argh!!).
    Or, you take a day or two off to take it easy, back problem goes away, and you’re back at work with a spring in your step.
    Take things easy - your back is too precious a thing to mess around with!

    Thanks for the reassurance. I must admit it was good fun watching Phil and Fern this morning!

    I hope your back is better now! If not, perhaps you need to think about seeing a doctor.
