This is horrible.
What about any vacation time from work and an amicable agreement with your employer (if you needed to borrow vacation time from the future)?
How long would you be in hospital for?
Maybe it is not all or nothing..maybe it is take a week for hospital and then take 1/2 weeks for treatment (aftercare)?
