Thank you, ~@Christina ...
The FMLA probably wouldn't even have to come into play, but yes, it's there if needed.
We're currently working from home at present due to Covid-19 shutdown and not slated to return for at least another two months.
After that, I've got a month of leave time stockpiled.
I also belong to a shared leave pool that would kick in after that.
Between those two I have enough paid leave to get me through until the Long Term Disability kicked in, but ...
I'd rather keep working so I don't lose my retirement with the university.
Only a year to go to be vested on that and it's heartbreaking to think I may not get there!
I'm sending the e-mail today so we'll see what happens from here.
I think it's going to be okay no matter what happens.
I'm just really sad that it's gotten to this point.
Not to mention the

pfactor due to all the uncertainties!
