<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

Beginning of January, went to the ER and was told I needed surgery. Scheduled surgery for mid January. Filed for FMLA leave three days before surgery. HR told me I had ~7 days to get everything submitted or I would have to call in every day while I was in the hospital/in recovery or it would be counted as a no call/no show. 

Attendance policy at work recently changed and we are no longer allowed to use doctor notes to get absences excused, so I made sure to let my boss know what was going on and emailed back and forth with HR pretty extensively throughout the whole ordeal to make sure I did everything according to new policy so as to not lose my job over a technicality.

Doctor told me they submitted the FMLA paperwork, got an email from FMLA two days after surgery saying they had everything, so I spent the next week or so recovering stress free, thinking I'd have a job to go back to.

Surgeon told me I needed two weeks to recover, told HR I'd be back after two weeks, but went back after 10 days because I couldn't afford to miss anymore work. Found out I had been terminated for job abandonment, spoke with HR rep, she claims she contacted FMLA and they say I never submitted a claim so they just assumed I was quitting (despite the fact that I'd been emailing her constantly about this all month). I had emailed her after initially talking to FMLA telling her I submitted the claim over the phone and offered to give her the FMLA claim number, which she told me I didn't need to give her.

Asked HR rep what I needed to do, she said talk to FMLA, asked her if I should call the office once I talked to FMLA, she said once I talked to FMLA she and the head of HR would "review" my employment status.

Called FMLA, they seemed surprised/confused I was fired since my claim's deadline was still over a week away. Called my doctor again, confirmed they had sent in the paperwork, asked them to resend it to make sure it had been received.
<bot>: went to ER, had to have surgery, told boss and HR what was going on, filed for FMLA, FMLA leave was approved, got fired anyway (I think?)
