First, I want to thank everyone for the well wishes and donations. I'm still replying from the post linked below. It's been a rough week.

As of May 14 I was terminated from my employment. It was stated that I didn't get my FMLA in on time. They use a third party company called Reliance Matrix. Initially Reliance filled out my claim as intermittent but my doctor's forms call the treatment as continuous. I received an extension on May 7 for May 22 as a new deadline. My company stated I needed a Return to Work deadline-my dr stated she couldn't give one since they believe treatment will be extended. An email dated May 14 was sent out with my separation papers with the reason stated above.
I am mostly worried about paying full COBRA until I'm approved for Medicaid. It's extremely expensive and if i lose coverage during any of this they could delay my treatment until my new coverage starts. https://gofund.me/0e2c38dc5
I'm furious.
