It's too bad I've been fortunate enough to have me and mine enjoy good health overall (<--sarcasm), because now when I need it, I don't have experience to draw upon.
I need a medical problem to prevent someone from doing something they would ordinarily do. Its treatment can't be deferred--it needs attention now--yet it cannot have long-term impact on the person's health. Ideally, it will involve either hospitalization for 1-2 days, or outpatient treatment and bed rest, during which the recovering person really ought not to be left at home alone.
The medical necessity can be for either person of a couple. They are both in their forties. She is a Little Person (dwarf, although I have not yet determined what type of dwarfism she has and may not even get into that). He is of normal stature. Their health is essentially good.
Whatever the problem I assign, it will need to be quickly explainable so I convince the reader (and the cops) that it's legitimate for them not to act, without bogging down the story in anyone's medical woes.
Thanks in advance!
