I was told I could use all my leave only but I only have a week of leave available. They would not approve leave w/o pay. So that means I would need to return to work in a week. they also need FMLA paperwork from my doctor saying I can return in that timeframe. I have been trying to save my leave but things happen and I also have severe migraines which cause me to miss work a lot. I feel now that I have told them about me wanting the surgery, they will give me a hard time if I try to take off.
