Anyone else feel guilty for calling in sick?

I've been signed off work for a week by the doctors, due to a bad bacterial infection on my face (my lips were pussing this morning).

I went to work all last week with a face infection and it probably made it worse.

Obviously I called in sick today and told my boss Ive been signed off a week but if I feel better sooner then I will go in. He's not happy and I feel sick for being guilty!!!! Does anyone else get like this?

    I hate calling in sick and don't unless I'm really incapable of working. That's pretty rare. My husband is the same way. I don't feel guilty about it, but I think I feel like I'm being wimpy.

    Your doctor signed you off for this long because they felt this is the amount of time it will take you to heal, if you go back sooner, you will delay your healing. Your health is more important than your boss's opinion of the situation
