I am a little confused. Should I not have told my insurance rep my diagnosis and inquired about using FMLA if possible? I know I will have to be off work for 7 weeks, so knew I would have to let them know as I have exhausted all my sick leave from my previous tests and surgeries 5 months ago. I hope I haven't done something wrong.
