I used to carry on reguardless....but then, that's what mums do. It took a lot to send me to bed.... maybe a migraine or high fever.

But my kids are grown now, so i get to look after me more.
Plus i love my bed .....if i have a damn good reason to stay in it most of the day - imma gonna take it💪
@OogieBoogie ooh...a bc! Thank you so much 🤗

@OogieBoogie You are MOST welcome!

Depends on how bad it is and the symptoms. I try to listen to my body and give it what it needs. A lot of times I find if I take the time to rest, my body heals much faster than if I try to power through it.

So for me that whole situation is fluidic. I am a, I have a cold but I got obligations.

I want to be, I have a cold and plan to lay in bed all day, but if I take off of work, I need to go to the doctor's office so I can get a note for work to dismiss the point I would get for missing work.

That's the problem with why people show up to work sick. Because way back in the day you could legit call out sick and no problem.

But because it was insanely abused, companies have now made it to where if you call off, you get 1 point. 8 points is termination. If you use PTO to cover that day, you still get a point because you weren't physically there to do work.

4, mainly because working in the healthcare profession you can't get sick and if you do. They still want you in.

@Beautywithin I hope and pray that someone at your work can at least prescribe some anti-biotics if you have walking pneumonia!

I marked the second option because I haven't had real obligations in a very long time. 😆
I mean, if I really had to be somewhere because not being there would have pretty bad consequences for me, I'd mark the first one. Either that or I would have to go to a doctor to get a stamp/sick leave.
Do you have a cold today?

@4meAndyou sounds like you're making progress. Just keep up with the vitamins, medicine, and resting and sleeping. The less you do, the better, get plenty of fluids and sleep. Sleep is one of the main components to getting better because I was in that constantly sick situation and getting lots of sleep definitely helped me.

I’ve had pneumonia 4 times and it’s nothing to play around with, hospitalization each time, after I got the freaking jab
4meAndyou · F
@Prison1203 I had really severe allergies that turned into chest congestion, and then walking pneumonia, back in early 2020, so I know how bad it can be.
It's a cold FFS...you figure out how to fulfill your obligations while keeping your distance from others.
Is that a sniffle? Might have myself a whiskey n coke and carry on

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Wish I actually HAD some of that...🤣🤣🤣

Number three for me and number one.
4meAndyou · F
@WillaKissing Yes. I HAVE to drive a friend of mine to his oncologist appointment this week, and one other appointment. Two days. And I HAVE to do the food pantry on Friday because all my neighbors are counting on the food.

I do all my stuff but alone so I don't get anyone else sick.

The first one, but in between those obligations I am parking it in my recliner and napping till I get better.
