Recently, I have been having trouble with my lower back and went to the doctor for a CT to figure out what the problem was. Found out I have a prolapsed disc that's pressing on a nerve. My job requires me to sit down for long periods of time, and this has been hindering my recovery process. My doctor said it would be in my best interest to take 2 weeks off to recover and rest. Unfortunately, I had my wisdom teeth out in Feb, and I used 8 of my 10 sick days for my recovery. I'm in the negative for my sick leave. I'm looking at unpaid sick leave at the moment, and it's making me anxious as hell. I've got a certificate for 2 weeks off and I'm not looking forward to giving it to my boss. It's crazy that I'm more worried about making my work angry with me than looking after my physical health.
