Discover LudwigThe phrase "my sick" is not grammatically correct or usable in written English.
It is possible that it was meant to be a possessive form of the noun "sickness," but in that case, it should be written as "my sickness." An example of correct usage of the phrase "my sickness" could be: - I can't come to work today because my sickness has gotten worse. If you are referring to someone being ill or unwell, you can use the possessive form of "sick" with a different noun, such as "child," "friend," or "partner." For example: - I have to take care of my sick child today. - She stayed home to take care of her sick friend. - We visited our sick mother in the hospital.
