Help I need answers for a phone call I need to make tomorow morning to my boss to tell him I need to take a few sick days.
I had an infected boil lanced on my but. That's embarrassing enough but add to that that due to my issue with recurrent miscarriages and the fact that I just got pregnant again (boss doesn't know - no one does) I have to take this blood thinner medication that makes me BLEED profusely. Put 2 and 2 together: having this boil lanced was painful, and bleeds a lot! it's also very hard to sit down for longer than 10 minutes. I have a desk job. I tried going to work today and had to leave early because of the pain and difficulty sitting. My doctor says I need to take a few days off to heal, but what do I tell my boss?
I don't want to give him too much info to make him puke or make him uncomfortable. How do I word this? I'v already told him that I had an emergency over the weekend involving a minor form of day surgery - and that my "stitches" were coming out.

Tell him your stitches are in a position that makes it almost impossible to sit all day. He'll get the drift. If he asks for more details, tell him you'd rather not disscuss it over the phone, and it will all be in your doctors note. It's your right to take sick leave when you need it, or even if you don't need it.

tell him you are having complications with the minor surgery you had this weekend. ask the doctors ofc write you a note suggesting you return to work in a few days. but i don't understand why you feel uncomfortable telling your boss and not the entire world on yahoo. i don't mean to be insensitive. truth always works best.

Yes! Tell him that you are going for medical treatment. Just tell him your have an Orthopaedic problem. This word is too general and he might will not ask much. As long as u can submit your medical leave, that would be good enough. At the same time, you still can have your normal pay!

Definitely don't go into that much detail...Tell him you're having medical issues that refuse to allow you to work at a desk for so many hours and that you're going to use a few days to heal. That's all you need to say! Lola & Giselle

You don't HAVE to tell him anything. Get a note from your doctor stating that you have to be off of work. The only information your employer needs to know will be on that note.

You shouldn't really have to tell him anything, just have a doctor's note. They are your sick days.
I would tell him that you are still recovering from the surgery and adjusting to the medication.

You can tell him you are suffering from backache and hence unable to sit for longer period. This is a reason for which you do not need a proof. Also, this you can extend in case you need more rest.

Juz tell your boss honestly... that you have a small medical surgery and ask you doctor for a letter to excuse you for work...

"My doctor says I need to take a few days off to heal"
Hopefully you have a note from your Dr.?
