I've been fighting a cold and sore throat for about a week. It's in its final stages (less phlegm, less tenderness in my throat).
If I run a fever I'm pretty good about seeing a doctor---I've no desire to miss large amounts of work time. That didn't apply here, but I did tell my family that I was sick and that I would be contributing less at home as appropriate. I don't get sick much so they're pretty much supportive, just clueless sometimes.
I'm grateful that I don't get "sick" very often. I don't think I've missed more than a couple of days of work over the decades. I do have long-term health contributions, being overweight, diabetic, and having sleep-apnea. The long-term stuff affects my prospects of a retirement that I can enjoy but does not yet affect my work week.
