Laugh if you like (which is good for you anyway) but when I pray for people who are sick - they have always recovered well - its to do with a certain ArchAngel .
I am not worthy - but just the Word and I shall be healed.

If so, this is where your substitution clause comes in.
You have got a substitute haven't you?

I took a day off sick last week; first in three years. I'd struggle through virtually everything, but throwing up on your keyboard doesn't make a good impression.
You're a contractor: they can "fire" you because there's a "y" in the day.

Pneumonia can be severe to the ultimate point (you snuff it) so you must take great care to recover properly or you won't be delivering anything. I hope you recover quickly.
