So, I have been out of work for the past 2 weeks recovering from back injuries that happened during a car accident. Luckily it wasn't a tragic accident, and I am almost back to normal. Apparently, as I am getting a bit older, my lower back has decided it wants to be fragile. I dealt with back issues back in May when my son Stephen was graduating from college. I got through that 5 hour car trip to ASU, and consequent sitting in uncomfortable seats at the convention center for the ceremony by pain pills and muscle relaxants. Hey, it got me through, and I was feeling pretty good....haha.
But now I return to work tomorrow. And wouldn't you know it? I have gotten up with a sore throat, stuffy nose, and all the other wonderful symptoms of a full blown cold. Yay! Hubby has been sick with a cold all week end, poor thing. And now....I get to go back to work feeling crappy.
Oh the joy. Because there is no way in hell that I would feel justified in calling in sick. They have been scrambling to cover for me these past 2 weeks as it is. Not that I give a flying flip about the struggles of our management to cover me. Its my friends and co-workers who bear the brunt of the inconvenience. I wouldn't do that to THEM. Its just such a shame that I couldn't have had this cold and gotten it over with while I was laying around the house, bored out of my mind, and not being able to do a whole lot of anything because my back was out of commission. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to schedule these kinds of things when it would be more convenient????
ETA: Ooops, false alarm. I guess it was just a really bad episode of allergies. That or the zinc lozenges that I used really knocked that cold out quickly. Either way, it was good to not be sick as a dog today.
