Solo Sickness

How do you single parents deal with it when you are sick? I am lucky enough to have friends and family to assist with my kids, although I still have some taxi-ing to do. My kids try to be helpful, but they just aren't bothered by the unattended tasks around the house. As things stack up, I just want to stay in bed longer. I try to avoid the really good medicine until after my last taxi shift. Sometimes, I guess we all just have to miss some things.

That one is tough. The way I'd handle it is simply not to get sick. So far my strategy has worked. But if I got real ill, I guess I'd either have to admit myself to the Hospital or arrange for a home care nurse ( I'd really look forward to the sponge baths for the latter ).
