Fit as a flea me, only had two days off sick in nigh on 40 years of working. That was Chicken Pox and it totally floored me. Other than that never been so bad I couldn't just get on with it. Odd heavy cold now and then of course and crocked myself doing daft things loads of times, but nothing to prevent fairly normal life. Luck of the draw I guess.
Years of self employment taught me that being ill was a state of mind in many cases. When there's no such thing as sick pay you just tend to ignore things that might get in the way of keeping the wolves from the door.
