Also, the fact that you got the surgery on your own, without any approval from the worker's comp carrier will go against you. With regards to your vacation, I don't know what to suggest.

I understand some jobs will terminate you if you don't report it.

However, at the time I was not positive what had caused it, as I would have thought the pain would have started right then and there, but he doctor says not necessarily so.

PLUS it would be very hard for me to prove it and for them to disprove it.
