There are MANY great reasons to become a freelancer. No cranky bosses. No long commutes. Lunch-break in the forest walking the dog. Playing Hendrix and Zeppelin at full-blast!
But what happens when you get sick? A serious and irreverant discourse on the subject...

Einstein said "Creativity is More Important Than Knowledge." Since I don't have that much biz knowledge yet, I'm trying to fall back on the creativity part.
Hope it's working...

I hope you get better soon. You are right as a freelancer no work no pay.
As a suggestion, if you think of your work as a business then perhaps it is worthwhile to build in the costs to cover not only sick leave but holidays as well. I know it isn't easy.
The only other suggestion I can think of at the moment is to partner up so someone covers you and you do not lose out entirely.
