Had to call out of work tonight, using up my only sick day allowed. I've got a ridiculous amount of strained muscles, including a pulled Achilles Tendon, and I completely shot my voice from my growling and screaming.
My mom got upset, but I held firm. She tends to treat my work almost like I'm still in high school, trying to berate and bully me into overextending myself (even when my stage manager, assistant stage manager, and one of the medical guys at Health Services were trying to convince me to stop working yesterday to keep me from hurting myself more). But I'm not taking any chances, especially with the risk of my foot not healing properly if I keep walking on it.
I told her that I always "listen to her opinion" on stuff like this, but I also have the right to ignore it.
