They put me on an anti - biotic ( do n't know if that really helped other than to make me have bowel issues - the one part of me that was n't sick at that point ) . Anyway , I had not left my apartment ( other than the doc ) for 4 days . It would have been great to have 4 days off , except that I could n't even gather the strength to read a magazine until Sunday . I am back at work until noon today since that is all I can handle .
According to the above context, answer the following question.
Why was I in the apartment for that amount of time ?


I was sick .
