I hope it's not something like cancer (or if it is, that it's a more easily treated kind). Maybe he's unsure of what's going on right now (or at least what a treatment plan or prognosis might be) and doesn't want to make any guarantees of when he'll be back? So that he doesn't break any promises?
I'm aware that might not help much... I do wonder if he might be willing to answer some sort of questions for you, like maybe not give any details, but explain a bit more.

Thank you, LT. Honestly, it just seems unlikely that it's something "less bad". Like he has talked to me while recovering from the flu or something before, you can hear somebody be a bit lethargic, coughing... my mom's a pharmacist so I know enough about illnesses to know how they affect you kind of. I don't think he'd sound like this if it was like say a broken leg... or a more serious thing like diabetes. It just doesn't sound right with the rest, you're not gonna go "I have a kidney infection, but I plan to work on getting back to work".
