Just curious as to how people handle working while injured.
I had a minor spill this morning because of ice. Came down quite heavily on my hip, which is making walking painful and cycling (likely to be) impossible. I still made it into work ok.
Ive been in this situation once before. Both times it has been easier to finish the journey into work than heading home after a spill. No Emergency Medical assistance required.
My job is entierly desk based, IT support, so an injury sustained on my way to work that interferes with walking, does not directly effect my job. It does make everything else a PITA though. Hard to walk up the stairs, hard to make food/drink, hard to get home/back in the next morning etc.
Im sitting here after taking a few painkillers still uncomfortable. All I want to do is go home and lay down. I feel tired, uncomfortable and have no drive to actually do any work. I also dont feel able to justify calling in sick just because I cant get into work easily (no cycling) and once at work, mearly feel uncomfortable.
How do you cope in this situation?
Go home?
MTFU and do some work?
Would you call in sick even though you are phyically capable of doing your job?
