Out Sick?

So what do you do when your sick or injured and you have a farm? Calling in sick is NOT an option. Those animals still need feed/hay/water/milking so you have to get the chores completed one way or another. If possible, your spouse (or other family member) must complete the necessary duties or you suck it up and limp through and get them finished yourself.

I recently pulled my back (it happens once or twice a year on average) and thank God I was not totally bed ridden. Although the Flexeril put me in a semi-comma and I felt horribly intoxicated for 24 hours (even only taking 1/2 a tablet). Bleh~ Good for nothing but sleeping.

The doctor says my soft/marsh-mellow mattress is horrible for my back so I guess we need to go mattress shopping soon!
