Wife and myself have been struggling recently with making sure we'll be ok on funds during my recovery. Heading in tomorrow to have the dialysis port placed. I'll be out of work for a week or so. Then once my numbers decline further, I'll actually start dialysis. Once I've been on dialysis, I'll get thrown in the list for pancreas and kidney transplant.
With all this being said, my Dr has advised me that I'll be off work for a minimum for 9 months for recovery. I've struggled with what to do for money and it may lead to me selling the Tacoma to save the payment. Once everything is back to about as normal as it can be, I'll buy another one. It just sucks, but I may have to do it. Just makes financial sense to me. Work will have me on long term disability, but that doesn't kick in until after 90 days. So I'll be out of work for 3 months with out a pay check, and I don't think we can survive on just my wifes income. This is all very stressful, and I want to help as much as I can. I've asked about possibly working remote at work, but given my job it's probably not gonna happen. We weren't planning on me being out of work that long, we had planned on 6 months max for recovery. We will be calling the transplant center in KC on friday to get more details on recovery time and what I could actually be looking at realistically.
Sorry for the long rant, it's still just quite a lot to take in. I appreciate you guys listening.
