sickbatical

A medically forced break from regular responsibilities taken by someone with a chronic illness or body limitations that may or may not involve components of enjoyment; or a break that is necessary for someone to take because the limits of their body don’t allow enough time, energy, or capacity to keep up with daily demands or desires.
Everyone kept saying “enjoy your break” but they didn’t seem to realize I was taking a sickbatical.

His medical conditions required so much effort to manage that the only way he could work on projects he was really excited about was to take a sickbatical.
