I think you have a history of calling in sick. Work ethic is very valuable, more valuable than pretty much anything else when it comes to work history or a career. Sounds like you might need to work on that.

My guess from the other situation is that you were really sick but used it to play hookey and made it worse.
If you're going to be sick, it's now your job to do everything that will make it better, including resting at home.
Not so fast. I slipped on black ice in dress shoes my second day at work in Louisville a few years ago and had a severe ankle sprain and a cracked tibia. Dumb luck.
Take your medical exam record with you when you return on Monday. You said you were sorry, so don't keep apologizing.
You're new. So you need to work at least the next several months without even one day off. If you feel poorly, go in to work, anyway. If you hurt your arm, go in to work, anyway.
Most places have a rule that covers days off for new employees. Many don't allow any days off for the first three or six months. If you have to take off, they may allow it. But you won't get paid for it. It's rough to be new. But once you get past the initial months, it will be easier. We all go through those rough beginning months at new jobs.
How many months do you have to work to qualify for unemployment?
Depends on your state of employment. Tenure in my state is 12- 16 months , at full time consistently. Then you get a whoppin 40% UE of your pay *IF* the employer doesn't dispute it.
Usually in the case of the OP's Incident in which YES a person can twist an ankle on ice. Slip and BAM! twister city! Usually with 90 day probation periods being the norm, places will document the call in.
By the sound of it though this OP has a habit of calling off or being unreliable .
Seems to be a consistent pattern. Also seems a fairly consistent pattern of not coming back to answer questions that would actually help solve his "problem."
