My partner is having a scheduled inpatient surgery, and I need to be there for them, so I will not be monitoring emails. If you need to reach me, please leave me a voice mail. I anticipate being back to full capacity in X days.
"Scheduled inpatient" is the vernacular that this is a big deal but nothing they should be lighting a vigil for.
I used “scheduled inpatient” and it was well received. Thank you!!
Just say your partner is getting surgery and need to be there for them. Don’t lie and say that YOU are getting surgery because they can check through what the insurance bills them - literally say your partner is getting and appendix or something removed
if you’re uncomfortable saying they have an elective surgery, you might just say they’re having a minor procedure?
