When I was still working here as a temp and Stephani was ready to hire me, I couldn't hide the reason why I was missing so many days and going to so many doctor appointments. I didn't think it fair. So I went to her and confessed my medical condition and all the tests I'd been undergoing and all the general suckiness my life had become, and that I wasn't sure this wouldn't continue for quite some time.
This is roughly the end of our conversation that day:
Me: So I can understand if you don't want to hire me. I've missed a lot of days and I don't know how many more I may miss and I'm sorry about that. Stephani: And I'm sorry you didn't get paid for the days you missed. And one day you might get married and want to leave for your honeymoon, or get pregnant and have to leave to have a child. We're not going to not hire you because of "one day".
So keep that in mind when you're applying for jobs. The unexpected in life happens - this was not something that you could control, and people know that. Don't stress so much about it. Things will work out.
