Sick Days and Slavery

Master was sick recently with a cough and fairly nasty sinus cold. After it cleared up with him, I have spent a few days incubating it. The past week or so has been made up of queasy mornings, the beginnings of a cough and a general "icky" feeling that I can't seem to shake. Today, though, it has reared its ugly head full force and after sticking it out for about an hour at work, I ended up being sent home.

I am now ensconced on the couch wrapped in blankets. Master always takes super good care of me when I am under the weather. I'm never NOT his slave but while I'm sick his focus is on me getting better as quickly as I can, not having me run and fetch and make and do. He could always tell me to do things and I am never off the hook as far as sex if he was to feel so inclined but he wants me to get better as quickly as possible so I'm pretty much on light duties.

Its a tricky thing, letting Master take care of me. I always feel slightly guilty when he does things that I normally do or when I'm not capable of making sure he's properly cared for. I hate feeling like I'm making more work for him as I hate to be an inconvenience. I'm sure that others who are in my position feel the same way although looking at recovery as "caring for Master's property" helps decreased that guilt a little.

Hopefully a day of Gravol, sleep and tea will help me get back on the road to recovery as quick as I can. Then I can get back to my normal routine and start serving Master again.
