It sounds like it wouldn't hurt her in any way for you to have a few days off to get your tootsies sorted out - it won't inconvenience or stress her in any way.
The real problem is it hurts you to ask. I think I know what that's like. I feel guilty all the time about letters I haven't answered and things like that, where I feel like I owe someone something and I'm inconveniencing them and making them hate me. Even when objectively I know it's nonsense.
Do you feel like you could tell her you feel badly about swapping days? When I was too ill to travel to Melbourne with my parents-in-law last weekend, it helped me to tell them how badly I felt about the whole mess. They were very understanding.
You can arrange it all well in advance to make sure it's definitely convenient for her, and you could give her some flowers or chocolate frogs when you get back to say "thanks". (Do you have chocolate frogs up over? I don't think I've seen them.)
If I had to stand up for five hours, my bottom would fall off.
