No - not by my parents. I've been deemed medically unfit for a virus I caught two weeks ago that required a hospital stay - and the FAA has grounded me indefinitely!
So now I must sit through an unknown amount of time of just waiting through an observation period followed by filing reams of paperwork and test results ( which will require multiple doctor visits, ie expensive!) to the bureaucracy in Oky City. Doc says I'm cured, no traces left, but that's not good enough for the Feds. I'm fine, and yet I legally cannot work. Any other job, I'd be back at work paying bills. I'm on FMLA as of today, which is unpaid, and in two months I might start getting long term disability, which is only 40% my pay. We don't have short term here.
So here I sit, struggling with ideas about how to pay the darn bills! I think I'm going to have to go out and get a temp job in the interim. Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll find a whole new career, I hope. Wife is stressed out, and pulling in OT to help.
Oh well, for now I have lots of time to sit and watch the plants grow.
