Hospitalized 3 days before finishing a flip

[Dustin Mathenia]

Being too involved in the work on my own flips has always been an issue for me. I was doing the tile backsplash on this flip Wednesday the 15th of this month figured after grouting Thursday and putting in appliances and cleaning I'd be done and ready to list..unfortunately I didn't sleep all Wednesday night because of an extreme abdominal pain. Long story short ended up in the hospital after 10+ hours of constant pain with appendicitis. Had emergency surgery and was recovering by Thursday afternoon. What wasn't happening was my tile being grouted or the house being cleaned. Usually there is a question involved in these forums but maybe the point of this story is to show myself it doesn't save time or money swinging the hammer in your own deals for 1 and second probably smart to have health insurance even if you're really healthy lol..

On a funny side note at 2am when I was high on morphine and muscle relaxers I guess I was explaining in detail how I would pay for all of my medical bills by acquiring enough rentals to cashflow the payments which lead to recommending BP podcast, her telling me I changed her life, and ended with her starting Richard poor dad on audio before her shift ended so at least I got to help someone see the light lol
