Not doted on, per se, but present. I don't like being totally alone when I'm sick; it actually scares me quite a bit when I'm really sick because I worry about what would happen if I fainted, etc. Sure, it's nice to have someone tuck me in and serve me hot soup and tea, but I really just want the assurance that someone will notice if things take a turn for the worse.
I prefer to stay home if I'm sick. I'd even stay hold for a cold if it were acceptable to do so. (We've only got so many sick days, after all, and some things-- like my Japanese class in college-- just can't be missed without severe repercussions). I definitely stay home for things like the flu, strep, bronchitis, or anything that makes me vomit. If it's contagious, you're an asshole not to stay home. I don't care how much of a hardass you think you are; it's people like you that get the rest of us sick!

Date: 2009-10-06 04:44 am (UTC)Boy do I hear you on that one! It really bothers me when people go out and about when they are sick, especially if wherever they're going can be caught up on or is entirely optional. I get really sick with colds too so I just find it really selfish for people to wander around with a contagious cold or flu.
When I'm sick, I usually want to be alone unless I'm really sick. In which case, I prefer someone to be in the next room where they can help me if need be but I still get my space to be sick and try to get better.
