[QUOTE="rellek, post: 743828, member: 29183"] I have a large keloid (benign tumor scar/not cancerous) on my chest that has become infected. The infection is recurring over the last 10 years. The plastic surgeon said while not an emergency it should be removed because of the infections (I will also be getting radiation treatments for the area following the surgery). He says I will need 1 week off of work and 6 weeks light duty (as in not lifting packages). To cover the week I need off I scheduled the the operation for my week I am on vacation in mid July. But I am concerned about the 6 weeks light duty, since 2 weeks ago I was transferred to a load/unload position. ( I have been at UPS going on 5 years). Should I ask for light duty, or should I pursue the FMLA act. I need to keep my benefits but I also dont want to be retaliated against and lose my job. What should I do? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, Steve [/QUOTE]
