The day of the surgery is not a problem. I drop her off at 9am and pick her up at 4pm that same day. It's a friday so I have the weekend with her. That's not the problem. The problem is that following week M-F. I don't want to leave her alone at home, incase she chews her stitches or something. My manager felt bad and she said if all else fails, and that this should be my last option because they need me, is to take 3 day vacation time.
