Called in sick

Today I called into my job sick. We are a small shop, so when someone calls in they're definitely missed. When I called in I told them I hadn't managed to sleep at all (insomnia issues) and I didn't feel safe operating our heavy equipment. They follow up by mentioning that one of my coworkers also wasn't there either. Thing is, the coworker that wasn't there either is someone I would cover for in events like today. Sucks that no one is there to cover for either of us, but that hardly feels like my fault. Its not like I didn't want to sleep and I don't want to kill anyone on a tow motor or driving to/from work. Why make me feel guilty? I'm frustrated they tried making me feel guilty enough to get me to come in completely disregarding any of my health in the matter.
