Does this company really think I'll be ready to return to work one month after a major surgery??

I had Scoliosis surgery in February 2012 to correct a reversed “S” curved spine. I am cut from almost my neck to almost my butt. Have rods, screws and all the hardware now. Had lots of fussings done. My FMLA expired January 13, 2012. My Short Term Disability is expiring in the next couple of days. I have applied for the Long Term Disability though Hartford and talked to a guy on the phone yesterday that said they didn’t have the needed info from the doc yet. BS, I faxed the paperwork Hartford sent me and my surgeon’s office filled out and even got confirmation from Hartford that they received it. The guy asked if I was ready to go back to work on June 1st. I see the surgeon this next Monday and am still having OT and if my shell comes off, I will resume PT. Excuse me, does this joker really think I will be ready to return to work in ONE month? By the way, my “Medical Leave” (Not FMLA) expires on May 9th so I will be out a job anyway. So Mr. Joker goes on to further tell me that if the surgeon releases me to return to work that NO matter if I have a job or not and don’t return to work then NO BENEFITS! Let’s all pray that SSI will approve my claim.
