The post op period

[chrisis]

Thanks spex! I'm sure we'll cover all of this and more during my consultation.

I'm wondering if I have any legal right to ask for holiday after the surgery. My employer can be really difficult and not very understanding, so I'm not sure they'd let me take so much time off. If I got a doctor's note (not necessarily authorising "sickness", just annual leave) maybe it would help my cause. I'd definitely prefer at least a month off and I'm trying to conserve as much of my annual leave entitlement as possible for that, just in case.
