Basically what happened to me is that I got my appendix removed on December 30, came home, got sick, went back to the hospital on January 3rd, the doctor determined that I bled internally after surgery and for some reason the space around my lungs filled with 4 liters of blood-like fluid. Then on Sunday January 11th the doctor cleaned out my stomach (probably removed whatever he left in there accidentally from the first surgery), and collapsed my lung so they could drain off the fluids around the lungs. I was discharged from the hospital on the 15th. I still have a hard time breathing, but I am getting better everyday as my lungs continue to expand.
After all that I am finally in recovery and luckily my insurance will cover all but a few thousand dollars of my medical bills because I easily met my yearly max out of pocket amount.
Unfortunately, I had to drop my graduate school classes this semester and my hunting money is going to have to pay some bills. I guess I will just count my stars that I didn't die. My employer has been excellent to work with me and I should have some leave time left after I get back to work in February. I just won't have very much time to take off for hunts next fall.
Good luck on you applications this year.
