Default Taking off of Work??

I spoke with my manager about the surgery. And she said I would need to have the PAL *PERSONAL TIME DAYS* for me to take time off for this. And I need Pal time for my appointments that cut into my work day. I get 1 day earned off a month. That means it would take me 10 months just to get 2 weeks. And I will need more for taking off for Dr Appointments.

Another thing is, I was told I cannot have short term disability unless I am married or have children.

My question is, Can my work really do this? Not allow me to have surgery because I dont have enough Personal days saved up? I'm still in the begining of this all. I did the infomational Class, now have my first appoinment set for March 31st to get started with things.

My doctor was the one who told me I needed to have this done. I had been doing my research on it before he told me I needed it done. Because I knew I had to do something soon.

With my doctor telling me I needed to get this done, give me any pull with my job?

Any help is appreciated
