I'd forgotten that the American system has a pre-defined number of sick days.
This is a concept that in Europe seems hillarious. We go to work if we're well, and stay home if we're sick - but if you're well a lot, there's no chance to claim back the extra days.

And deep beneath the rolling waves,
In labyrinths of Coral Caves,
The Echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand;
And everthing is Green and Submarine
