Surgery Date!!

Dec 10, 2012

So, I finally have my date - April 10th, 2013.  I have been waiting patiently over a year for this date.  Today I was called into the boss' office where they asked me to postpone my surgery because another person in the office was getting married the day after my surgery and that it was a busy time at work and they'd prefer if I could move the date.  OMG!  I was soooo pissed, still am.

Not only did this happen, but they've asked me to use my 2 weeks vacation from 2012 and my upcoming 2013 two weeks vacation for the recovery time.  Also stating that they didn't want me using vacation after being off work for the recovery!

Can anyone answer me - is this even legal of them? 

I told them that I didn't want to change my date, however I did send a fax to the surgeon to see if the date could be moved, but stressed to him that I am okay with the date.  I am so frustrated.  I've been on the web all night searching to see if this is crazy or am I being taken advantage of by my employer.  Yes, I had initially estimated that the surgery would be in October, and then estimated January - but the surgeon is the one that books it - NOT ME! 

Anyone?  Help?

 

REVISED - Date is now May 8th - I changed it for work :(

 

Thanks.
