AIBU to call in sick for the second time in 9 yrs

[whatisforteamum]

Thursday i woke up feeling awful achy and exhausted.Our DD was ill last week and we ended up calling 111 as she had chest pains and dh had a heart attack so did both his parents.
I dragged myself into work and did my 12 hr day but it was a struggle.
I messaged 2 colleagues both said they were busy eventhough ive offered to cover one girl so she can attend a funeral next week and she had most of last week sick.I asked her fri and she was going out again.
My team leader told me he wouldnt moan on if he was ill or in pain which is harsh considering he knows my Dad is having ct and bone scans to check his terminal cancer and is on chemo.
They also know ive doubled my hrs to cover hols the last few weeks getting home at 1 am sometimes.
On fri i managed to cover half my 12 hr day and got a text what time would i be in i then phoned in sick as 2 people were on which is how we ran it the last few weeks.
I know as ive been there how the other girl has been slagged off as she has called in 9 times in 9 months and been spoken to about it as we have to cover her.
I have an awful feeling my name will be mud in the eyes of this single guy who has no understanding of 3 loved ones who ve been v ill and i always go the extra mile at work.AIBU or is this guy being unreasonable as i missed my wed anniversary last sun to cover the other girl .I dont feel 2 occasions in 9 yrs much (last time was couple of weeks)

One of them said i just have to deal with the fact my parents will die mostly ive coped we coped as a family very well but its hard to watch 2 people having operations and chemo and scans and not feel sorry for them.I sleep as much as i can in the afternoon and pace myself it was soo hard to actually phone in ill :(

A couple of days off sick each year wouldn't dent your record. People get sick.
Stress also tends to reduce your immune system so as you say it's a wonder you haven't been ill before. If you are genuinely ill then it is OK to miss work. They should not be hassling you over very occasional sickness.

Thanks Giddy at least i went in on the first day too.I will go in positive but will stand my ground to any sarky comments from either of the male bosses.I think i will be lumped in as an ill woman because of the one who has had several times off with different reasons.I wont get paid either to add insult to injury.
