With Pain Comes Bills

John has had a "busted" hand for several months now. Since before we moved out of our apartment he had injured his hand, and up until a few days ago never knew exactly what was wrong with it. Then about a month or so ago, his leg started to hurt really bad. He went to a sports injury specialist who so far has been the only doctor who could diagnose his injuries. Turns out he'll most likely need surgery for both. He's torn a ligament in his hand, and they suspect a pinched nerve in his back causing pain in his leg. I knew he'd torn something... John is so accident prone, how could he not have? Well, now we've got to figure out what we should do. Obviously he needs them fixed. But how will we afford it, and when does it need to be done? The insurance will cover a lot of it thank goodness, but we're still paying on my hospital bills. We can't afford to get another one right now. This is going to take some careful planing. After surgery who knows how long he'll be out of work for. Maybe I'll need to get a job to compensate for a while? But he most likely won't be able to take care of the baby by himself, so I'll either need to be there with him, or we need to find someone who can come and help out while I work. Anyone up for some possible babysitting? We'll see how things go over the next little while I guess.
