On May 25th I was unexpectedly hospitalized, overall staying 5 days in the hospital, having an unplanned surgery and medical procedure during my stay. I had to be out of work for two weeks to recover and unfortunately, since I have only been at my new job for two months, I didn’t have enough sick time or annual leave to cover the time that I was out. On top of that, I have multiple days that I have to take off for follow up appointments that will also not be covered by leave. Courtney has been doing the best she can to handle everything outside of my medical needs, I.e. getting stuff moved over to our new place, working etc. But we don’t have any savings left to cover what time I lost during my leave. The hospital expenses are more than we imagined, but thankfully our insurance covered a good amount of it. We only need enough to cover our out of pocket expenses and what bills we need to pay to catch up.
