Unemployment Benefits Questions

Hey Ladies,

I hope that this finds all of you DIVAS in great spirits. I need some advice so here goes the scenario. I was dx on May 21,2009. I was scheduled to have a mastectomy on June 24, and chemo and all of the other goodies following. After consulting with my doc and husband I decided that I would have to quit my job and find a more suitable one based  based on the aggressiveness of the treatment and the attitude that I had been getting from said boss. On more than one occassion she tried to actually dispute the validity of the docs that I had ben seeing by saying things like " your docs are pretty stupid" in response to me telling her that I did not have answers to questions that she asked. Like what was my recovery time going to be. SHE estimated that in three weeks I would be able to return to work. I tried to explain to her that the MX was only the beginning of treatment at this point. Ok I work as a reservationist at a hotel by the way. I work the 3-11pm shift and I am there alone on most nights. So that was another thing that scared me what if something happened and I was there alone. When I had planned to have the mast she actually had me scheduled to work up to ten days straight before my mastectomy. I called my doc who said no way and immediately told gave me a written letter requiring that I take time off before and after surgery.  Anyway after the second opin and a nw doc I am now doing chemo first because of tumor size and will have mast and rads later. I could have chosen to go back but I did not because I am honestly afraid of what I will have to endure under this woman. I really feel that she believes that I am making more of this than necesary. So I applied for unemployment after thinking it over and getting past the shame of asking for help. ANother thing that scared me abouther was the fact that she actually told me that I would not be eligible for SHort Term DIsability when we had our open enrollment. When I called her on it she lied and said that she never said that.She bold faced sat there and told me that I was not eligible for our short term disability. Only later after talking with others did I realize that she had no authority to make such a claim only teh actual insurance company can deny youbenefits and they have to have good cause. I feel so confused and I am afraid that this Unemployment process will be further abuse. Anyone been through this? Anyone have any ideas if I did the right thing?
