Just after Rainfurrest, Fox came down with something. It knocked him out of work for a week. The next weekend, I got it. it didn't hit me as hard... but it still caused me to miss work. Tuesday, because I still wasn't up to snuff, and Wednesday - today - because the crap in my lungs prevented me from sleeping. I wound up going to the doctor's for the first time in perhaps five years. The visit itself wasn't too awful or expensive; the co-pay on my insurance is fairly low. Even the pills she prescribed were cheap, but the new albuterol inhaler is another matter! Add in the 2 days worth of lost pay from missing work, and this was a financial punch in the gut.
At least the pills work. Really well, in fact; I'm feeling much better, the crud is already mostly gone from my lungs, and I have a 5-day supply to make sure it stays gone. But I just hate unplanned-for expenses...
