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?

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.
