I have crohn's and prior to going in the hospital I had a 6 month flare up which left me malnourished. While having this flare up I continued to work. Well I contacted my doctor and he suggested having surgery. So I mentioned that to my boss and he said ok use what time off you have and write up a vacation request. 15 days I had available.
So I went to the hospital and ended up spending 21 days there. I was in bad shape that they had to give me an ileostomy, In addition restoring my body after being badly damaged by malnourishment a week prior to surgery.
While in the hospital I contacted my boss and told him my progress. Thinking that I would have job security when I got released from the hospital. I find that my employer was unable to hold my job and offered something lesser and impossible to perform and gave me a discharge. So my question is... Is there any recourse in this?
