We had some out of town visitors come for the surgery, to offer support, so we bought dinner on the night of surgery. I ate at the hospital for lunch, and had planned to just grab a snack for dinner at home, but our guests were hungry and in a hurry.
We had a few copays for prescription drugs, and Husband requested some personal care items and over-the-counter drugs to help him after surgery. He also asked for several "comfort" foods from the grocery store.
I normally wouldn't have bought most of these items, or at the very least would have only bought them on sale and/or with coupons, but it was unusual circumstances and I wanted to do whatever possible to help him be more comfortable. I ended up spending nearly $100, between the groceries, prescriptions, and meals.
Later in the week we went to the grocery store for more food, and spend another $50. We also ordered pizza ($25), and saw a movie ($20).
We both took most of the week off, him for surgery and me to help him. This means that I haven't been able to work any overtime, so my pay will be less on the next paycheck.
