Finally my wife could not take it anymore a lot of pressure from work, things that for 11 years was not a problem to the company now they were. The doctor took my wife out of work and put her on disability for 6 months. 2 weeks later we got a letter with her final paycheck, she was fired.  one reason was because she did not seek permission from work. Is this really legal?? I need help. Danny My wife has low sugar and the doctor is been trying to controlled it for 6 months.
