I'm typing this from my comfy, semi-quiet bedroom in the middle of a workday. When Ratbastid's parents came to visit, they brought some crazy nasty cold. I stayed well for a few days, then got sick as hell. I have bronchitis and a throat infection and am on antibiotics and codeine cough syrup (hate). I was out sick most of Thursday, all day Friday and Monday, and tried to go to work today. A supervisor sent me home after finding someone to cover my workload for this afternoon. I thought I was well enough to go, but apparently coughing so hard you break a sweat is indicative of being really really sick.
How do you all know you're well enough to go back to work?
