Writer's Block: Sick day

When you get sick, do you prefer to go it alone or be doted upon by a friend, partner, or parent? Do you usually go to work or school or stay home?
Well, since when I was a kid it wasn't in fashion or what-have-you to have your parents with you when you were in hospital,plus me mum had to work  to just keep a roof over our heads, since me dad had long since left,   and I was left mostly alone save for doctors and nurses or other sickly children when I was conscious enough to notice or care, I kind of have a fondness for other people now. A good mate( or you know, more than a mate ^_-)  will do the trick, s'long as 's'not contagious. If it's contagious then I wouldn't want anybody to catch it so I'll suffer on alone.

And it depends on if I can go to work. If I can, I will.  Nothing can be said of me not having a good work ethic. I'll work til I can't anymore . And I mean literally until me own body says enough muckin' about. And I end up collapsing during a photo shoot- not me finest moment, I'm sure.
