Sorry for the double post but thought I would update those that might be interested.

My boss replied via text message that I could take all the time I need, just let them know when I am ready to come back. She wishes me well and hopes I am able to come back soon. So I am very happy with that outcome It really takes the pressure off to know that I can have this time off and I have a job to go back to.

Thanks guys for giving me an outlet and for the advice.
