i'm so new to this but wow!! that fabric cutter looks like it would be so much fun!!! i've done a bit of asst managering in the past, and i don't think in any state it is legal for your boss to fire you while under care of a doctor especially if it's work related. i'd check in to it, it may be worth fighting for! these days jobs are WAY too hard to come across :( be prepared to cross your T's and dot your I's tho if they have to let you back on, they'll be looking for a reason to get rid of you then for sure! but do check in to it and i'll pray all goes well for you!! hope the chips were great!!
