If I were in your shoes I would definitely call Canada Revenue help line 1-800-361-3223 or Services Ontario Business Info Line is 1-888-745-8888 and check into everything so you can file your taxes properly because this should be a write off for you at the end of the year. But you might have to register with them for a Business Number with CRA if you have an employee even for a short time. Then they can tell you what you have to do about a short-term employee regarding things like your payroll and other things. Don't take our advice, check with the professionials on all this!

Also, I hope you are ok and heal quickly whatever your health issues may be. Take care of yourself.
