Re: K in hospital


Tink, what can I say. You both do not deserve all this. My very best wishes are with both of you and I do hope things improve for K and he recovers well. I can only reiterate what has been said above. Big hugs to both of you/

Re: K in hospital


Hmm I don't know because it all started at home after he lifted a bucket of water. He had blinding pain in his legs and collapsed and vomited. It was on his day off so I don't think so...
I'm trying out this blind faith thing. It's kind of helping

Re: K in hospital


Is there a HR department or person at his workplace? Maybe they might be able to offer some suggestions for help while K can't work ...... just an idea ....

Re: K in hospital


Yep, that sounds good.
His plan is to get a doctors note releasing him and get them to at least take him on light duty again. Even if he gets paid less. I think a note would make them feel better because it'd release them from liability if something happens again.
We're also considering some kind of desk job.
And lastly, maybe pulling some money out of his 401K which he'd hate to do but might be necessary so we don't lose the house.

Re: K in hospital


Continued good wishes to K on his recovery Tink. It must be difficult to focus on getting better when he knows he need to be out there earning to keep a roof over the family's head.
