Michael has been dealing with chronic pancreatitis since February 16, 2019. Missed strictures allowed bile to back up into and begin eating his pancreas. Pain management sent him to a counselor that told him he had a terminal condition and caused a nervous breakdown and loss of 2 months of his salary. I took a loan from my 401(k) to get us through. He was out another month because pain management does not adequately manage his pain. Additional pain had us ring in the new year in the emergency room and he has been in-patient at the Cleveland Clinic's main campus in downtown Cleveland since. It's a 45 minute drive each way and a $10/day parking fee to visit him. Our insurance deductibles and out of pocket max reset last week. I've lost work time. He's lost all income as his company does not provide short-term disability since he's on my insurance, or any sort of pay during an FMLA leave as my company would. I would rather ask for help now before the problem is compounded and we start losing the ability to pay the rest of our bills.
