You may have a claim under the Florida Civil Rights Act or ADA for discrimination based upon your handicap or disability. You need to speak with an employment lawyer to provide further information about these issues. You can also feel free to call my office if you wish to discuss this matter further.

I agree with Mr. Behren's response. In the meantime, you may want to try to file for FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act). There is a version of the Act that allows for intermittent leaves.
