I was also very nervous to tell my boss and to ask for that amount of time off. I agonized over it for weeks. I work with a small team of people and one person missing will cause a lot of work for the remaining staff. I didn't tell him about the surgery untill I was sure it was going to occur. Surprise, Surprise, not only was he ok but he was very supportive. He made me feel so good that I said I would wait if the timing would not be good for work. He told me to have the surgery and take of myself. I am very fortunate to have such a wonderful boss.
