* to care for an immediate family member (spouse, child, or parent) with a serious health condition; or
* to take medical leave when the employee is unable to work because of a serious health condition.

Also, Renea has since come back and clarified that her employer is over 50 so she would qualify for the FMLA.
you are correct, I misspoke. You should be able to use FMLA after you've exhausted all other sick time etc.

the kicker will be the # of employees in her company...

I was in the same boat this week. I scheduled surgery on Wednesday and sent out a note later that day that I would be gone. The admin assistant (who thinks she is my supervisor and runs the office) called me in and said that I'd need to postpone my surgery or get a note from my doctor saying it is medically necessary now. I called my doc, almost in tears (I've been waiting for this for 2 years!!!), and they faxed me a letter. It was a dang good one too. If you read it, you'd think I would die next week without the surgery. So call yoru surgeon's office and see what they can do for you. I'm sure they run into this kind of thing all the time.
