I've missed work due to an illness for almost 2 weeks now. Every day I have messaged my supervisor and updated her on my appointments, tests being done, and the results. I event messaged her when I got home from the ER Saturday night.
A few days ago she messaged me and asked how I was feeling. I told her I am still in pain and that they were running tests. She replied "So you are still unable to work?" This upset me, so I told her that I am not able to return to work yet and asked if I should fill out a leave of absence to which she replied "No, that's okay."
Yesterday I messaged her and let her know that I finally have a diagnosis and am getting antibiotics. She replied back telling me to feel better soon.
Today my supervisor messaged me and asked me to come into work. She even prefaced it "Hey I know you still aren't feeling well but..." She also asked me if I could work Monday and I told her that I am uncertain how I will feel by then. Then she sent an email with the schedule for Monday which included all of the staff, including those that show they are as not available; my name wasn't on this list.
I panicked and sent her an email with a CC to her supervisor explaining that I am unable to return to work at this time, listed my symptoms, the dates of my appointments, diagnosis, and requesting information about how to submit a leave of absence. She sent a reply back a few minutes ago telling me that she is my immediate supervisor and that I should not have included her supervisor in the email. She also stated that "As we have been in communication the entire time, I am aware of what is happening."
I'm freaking out right now. I feel like I've totally messed up, but all I wanted to do was ensure there was documentation that I have been ill so I don't get fired from work.
