Can anyone give a general idea as to how much time Marvin may be off work. We are trying to figure out how to handle his time off. He is the main source of income for us. I work only part time. We have 2 kids in college that we pay part of their living expenses. Plus we are paying on our other sons loan after he has graduated. He will probable take that one over soon but for know we are paying. He will be able to get short term disability for 6 months but that will not be enough to cover our expenses.
