A caveat to my earlier post.

Too sick to ride, too sick to work.

Injured it depends. I have been known to ride many miles with a cast on one arm because of a broken wrist.

Last Wednesday I got my left thumb where it didn't belong in a hydraulic, log splitter. The pieces of thumb got sewn back together, most of them anyway, I think one got left in my glove. Went back to work the next day, but the thumb has been sore enough to keep me off the bike. I'll probably be back riding by the end of the week, maybe early next week.
