2015 was supposed to be a good year, there were lots of plans and hopes to be had. Starting back at my job, with a longer contract and a little more money. Plans of buying a house with my girlfriend. Costumes and conventions. It was supposed to be a year full of adventure.
Boy was I wrong, first week back to work, I started feeling some pain in my abdomen, by the end of the week I had to call in sick. By Monday I was in agony on my way to the hospital. I won't bring up the more gruesome details, but I had an infection, had to be opened up to clear it out. I was in the hospital for 5 days. Now I'm stuck at home with a wound that has to be cleaned out and the dressings changed by nurses. I can't work, and there's more surgery on the way, it's just a matter of when. I know recovery time from this type of surgery is 6-8 weeks, so the likelyhood of returning to work during my contract is very slim at this point. I have to rely on my parents for my bills till I can find out if I'm eligible for any type of government assistance. In any case, I'm pretty much stuck at home doing nothing. I won't have the money to buy or save for a house, won't have the money for costumes and conventions, basically won't have the money to do anything that I love doing.
I know health comes first, but despite the fact the year has only just began, I really feel like this year has already been completely stolen from me.
